| There is a secret military transit Ho Chi Ming Trail in Vietnam war which started from the middle of the north Vietnam, via the middle and south part of the Lao and the east part of the Cambodia, and then switched into the south Vietnam. A large number of international aid material and the army of the north Vietnam were sent into the south Vietnam by this way which provided a strong support for the victory against America and Vietnam unification. Nowadays, Ho Chi Ming Trail is still a history topic with legend color.After the first Indo-china war, Vietnam was divided into two parts temporarily according to the Geneva Agreements. As America wanted the south Vietnam to be bridge tower against communism, so America took a series of measures to fulfill its object, such as supporting Ngo Dinh Diem and making Indochina countries to be protectorates under the Southeast Asia treat Organization (SEATO). Under the high stress policy against communism, the Viet Gong organizations were destroyed seriously and many fore-anti-French persons were arrested or killed. The peaceful unification hope of north Vietnam was broke up, Labor party began to consider to liberate the south by force.Given the home and abroad posture of that day, the north did not dare to attack the south across the DMZ, so it opened a secret trail through Lao and Cambodia to send military material and army. From 1959 to 1975, because of the change of the contrast of both sides, the affluence of the home and abroad factors, Ho Chi Minh Trail was developed into a 6000 kilometers transportation system including five main roads, and many, many cutoffs and bypasses.After the Vietnam war, Ho Chi Minh Trail did not disappear from the stage of the history. The troop who protected the Ho Chi Minh Trail in war time didn't retreat from the Lao and the Cambodia completely. Some of them left and became local civil administrators and government counselors who were tools for the Vietnam to control its neighbors. After the cold war, Vietnam retreated its corps from the Cambodia and resumed normalization with China and America. At the same time, Vietnam and Lao turned more attention to the economy development, the touring Industry blossomed. As an interested site with legend color, Ho Chi Minh Trail was concerned by people again. However, there are some problems need to be resolved, such as female volunteer problem, bomb problem, orange chemical problem and so on. |
