What are the cu chi tunnels?

The Cu Chi Tunnels is a tunnel network underneath the Cu Chi forest which was built and maintained by the VietCong Guerilla Forces in South Vietnam in order to attack encamped American positions near Cu Chi. Given that Americans were larger than Vietnamese, it was almost impossible for Americans to pursue the VietCong into the tunnels, leading to numerous successful VietCong raids on American positions and many American casualties.


How long did it take the vietnamese to build the tunnels?

The Cu Chi tunnels are a large network of underground tunnels in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). The tunnels were originally constructed from 1946-1954 as a hiding place for the Viet Minh, nationalist guerillas who fought the Japanese during World War 2 and then France. More tunnels were constructed during the Vietnam War to serve as hiding spots, communication, and supply routes for soldiers. The Cu Chi Minh tunnels are part of the overall network of tunnels that underlie much of Vietnam.


Why did the vietcong put their dead down the tunnels?

It was an easier way for the VC to get around. With the US army above ground trying to 'search and destroy' them it was a safe way to travel. With the Americans also having the upper hand with their firepower, the Vietcong could confuse the soldiers. For example, they would ambush an American soldiers camp, then when the troops went after them in pursuit, they would just disappear. This was one of the many ways that the Vietcong wore down the morale of the US troops.

How did the Vietnamese move around under ground?

The famous "Tunnels of Cu Chi" located in southern III Corps (just west of Saigon) have created a somewhat exaggerated image of under ground warfare in Vietnam. All US involved wars, going back to the US Civil War 1861-1865, have involved some sort of digging, trenches, and some tunnelling. Sometimes, such as in WWI, it was referred to Sapping (Sappers), and mining. Communist forces in South Vietnam had a small net work of tunnels, equipped with underground hospitals, storage facilities, etc. The biggest network was located in Cu Chi. These tunnels, dug by hand, were big enough for the average human being to move through by crouching (moving similar to a spider), or crawling. There were possibly some larger tunnels located near the Ho Chi Minh trail, as that is where vehicles mostly moved, and it was bombed by US aircraft so heavily, and so constantly, moving underground would have been the more secure method of successfully getting through. And since the Ho Chi Minh net work of trails (roads) was in Lao's, the NVA (North Viet Army) would have had to time to dig them.
