  9. Aodai • -Ao Dai is a long Vietnamese dress that is worn by women all over Vietnam. The color used to show age. Young would wear pure white, and the elder would wear more soft pastel shades. Now a days everyone wears more vibrant colors, and it even got made a little shorter. Ao Dai’s are very common at events such as Weddings and Funnerals. • David

  10. AK-47 (Avtomat Kalashnikova) • The AK was the main weapon of the North Vietnamese. • Importance-it was supplied to them from the Soviet Union so it was very inexpensive and they had mass amounts of them. • The North Vietnamese were the main users of the AK but some South Vietnamese forces had them. • The AK did not have a huge effect but it did help them, it did not jam often and there was an abundance of them. If you needed ammo you could find it almost anywhere. Very simple to operate, and clean. • By Evan

Bicycles • -The bicycle’s importance in the Vietnam War was that it could carry a lot of items to the troops in bigger portions. • -The VC and the NVA would carry up to 400 lbs on bike threw the Ho Chi Minh Trail. • -It allowed the NVA to get the weapons and supplies faster then if people were carrying it on foot. Plus it was the only thing they had. • -They didn’t have much other technology to carry these supplies threw the woods so they resorted to bikes. • David
