Le Duc Tho was a North Vietnamese diplomat who negotiated with Henry Kissinger to end the war.

• A. Ho Chi Minh
• B. Le Duc Tho
• C. Vo Nguyen Giap
• D. Pham Van Dong

Answer: (B)

The question centers on identifying the North Vietnamese diplomat who led the talks with Henry Kissinger to end U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Le Duc Tho was the principal North Vietnamese negotiator at the Paris peace talks, working directly with Kissinger to shape the agreements that aimed to end the war and outline a framework for peace. His role was central in drafting the Paris Peace Accords of 1973, even though fighting continued until 1975 and full settlement came later. This makes him the best answer because the name most closely associated with negotiating the peace terms with Kissinger is Le Duc Tho.

For context, Ho Chi Minh was the overall leader of North Vietnam, Vo Nguyen Giap was the military commander, and Pham Van Dong was a political leader and diplomat but not the key figure who negotiated with Kissinger at the Paris talks.
