Question 5 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Which event directly led to the end of the Vietnam War?

Answer
A
the Tet Offensive
B
the My Lai Massacre
C
the US bombing of the Ho Chi Minh Trail
D
the US Christmas bombing campaign

Explanation

The US Christmas bombing campaign in December 1972 helped bring North Vietnam back to peace negotiations. Those talks led to the 1973 Paris Peace Accords and the withdrawal of US forces, marking the end of direct US involvement in the war. The Tet Offensive was a major turning point in US public opinion, but it did not directly end the war.
