Answer:

The Christmas Bombings of Hanoi in Northern Vietnam was a devastating necessity to show how string the US was and a strategic ploy to coax North Vietnam to give in the plans of the US.

Explanation:

The <u>"Christmas Bombings" of Hanoi in Vietnam by the US military was a result of the failure of the peace talks between the two nations of the United States and North Vietnam.</u> The talks began to deteriorate by December 13, so president Richard Nixon ordered massive bombings on Vietnam.

The peace talks between the nation began to deteriorate when negotiators from both sides blamed one another for the inability to come to a plausible agreement feasible for both parties. President Nixon, in a desperate bid to showcase how the US is strong, ordered Hanoi to be bombed, which started on December 18, 1972, which was code-named "Operation Linebreaker II". The bombings were carried out till December 29, 1972, after which North Vietnam agreed to resume the talks, and shortly, the Vietnam War ended.
