Hồ Chí Minh Trail

The Hồ Chí Minh Trail was a network of supply routes used by North Vietnam during the Vietnam War to transport troops, weapons, and supplies from North Vietnam to South Vietnam. Running through Laos and Cambodia, it was vital for supporting the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces. Despite being heavily bombed by the U.S. to cut off supplies, the trail was ingeniously disguised and constantly adjusted, making it a crucial logistical lifeline that played a significant role in the conflict’s dynamics.
