Pardon me, this was a really cool thread that popped up in the "related topics" column...



There is one possible point of divergence and all it would take is Cronkite saying "The North is defeated" at the end of Tet. Mao Ho Chi Minh is recorded to be ready to give up until he heard Cronkite say that the US had been beaten.




Where do you think the Ho Chi Minh Trail went?




I'm not sure that's really possible. Both Laos and Cambodia's centers of government were a long way away from the border with Vietnam.


I think it'd take something on the order of the WW1 Western Front, with more than one man per foot of line, to keep the NVA out.
