Answer 2

The correct options are:

-show North Vietnam that the United States was serious about the Paris peace talks

- show confidence in the South Vietnamese forces

-relieve the pressure of discontent at home

Although this term and this idea was already raised by President John Fitzgerald Kennedy in the early 1960s, it was not until Nixon's victory that it was put into practice by analyst Henry Kissinger. The Vietnamization sought to strengthen and prepare the NRVO, then transfer the responsibility to defend the territory of the South. At the same time, he had to create a context to vent President Thieu's regime of constant harassment against the FNLV and the NVA. This was done by giving instruction to the Vietnamese and "delivering huge amounts of weapons to the army of Nguyen van Thieu." In addition, Vietnamization would mean a stronger position for Washington and Saigon in the face of future negotiations with the Communists, already secretly initiated by Kissinger in Paris during February 1969.
