Question

which identifies why the nixon administration decided to bomb cambodia?
○ henry kissinger believed that cambodia would be the next country in indochina to adopt communism.
○ cambodia secretly decided to ally with north vietnam and planned to attack us forces.
○ ho chi minh was planning to defect to cambodia, and the nixon administration wanted to stop him.
○ north vietnamese troops were using trails into cambodia to get supplies.

Explanation:

During the Vietnam War, North Vietnamese troops used trails (the Ho Chi Minh Trail) that extended into Cambodia to receive supplies. The Nixon administration bombed Cambodia to disrupt these supply routes.

• Henry Kissinger's belief about Cambodia adopting Communism was not the main reason for the bombing.
• Cambodia did not secretly ally with North Vietnam to attack US forces in the way described.
• Ho Chi Minh died in 1969, and the bombing of Cambodia (1969 - 1970) was not related to him defecting.

Answer:

North Vietnamese troops were using trails into Cambodia to get supplies.
