Answer 2

The 17th parallel, which later became the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone).

"The Geneva Conference on July 21, 1954 recognized the 17th parallel as a "provisional military demarcation line" temporarily dividing the country into two states, Communist North Vietnam and pro-Western South Vietnam."

"In addition, the Conference declaration agreed upon the cessation of hostilities and foreign involvement (or troops) in internal Indochina affairs. Northern and southern zones were drawn, into which opposing troops were to withdraw, to facilitate the cessation of hostilities between the Vietnamese forces and those that had supported the French. The Viet Minh, having advanced to the far south while fighting the French, retreated from these positions to north of the ceasfire line, awaiting unification on the basis of internationally supervised free elections to be held in July 1956."

Answer 3

the countless components that supposedly drew the U. S. into the Vietnam conflict are nicely documented and actually revolved around saving the unfastened worldwide from Communism. the actual undeniable fact that the Vietnam conflict produced a large pass of tax money from the common public handbag to the palms marketplace is seldom reported yet as quickly as spoke of it is going to become a elementary component in all US protection tension campaigns. Then we recognize that the very existence of a large pool of tax money creates the motivation for a conflict to channel those money to the typical suspects.

Answer 4

17th line parallel and also known as the DMZ or demilitarized zone
