Detailed explanation-1: -Between 1959 and 1975, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) used a series of trails running through Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos to transport weapons, supplies and reinforcements to the North Vietnamese Army and other sympathizers within South Vietnam.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Ho Chi Minh Trail consisted of a network of roads that were built from North Vietnam to South Vietnam and passed through neighbouring countries Cambodia and Laos. The roads were very important because they provided logistical support to the North Vietnamese army and the Vietcong during the war.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most evident advantage of the Ho Chi Minh Trail was that it was well protected from U.S. forces, as the jungle provided natural concealment from bombers and Infantry scouts who sought to find the Trail’s exact location to stage a massive offensive to disrupt and destroy the Trail’s supply routes.
