In an alternate timeline, Anna Chenault, Nixon's campaign advisor, fails in convincing South Vietnamese President Nguyen Ven Thieu to withdraw from peace talks brokered by LBJ and the Soviet Union. The two Vietnams attend the talks and they agree to a Korean War-style armistice. The war ends in a ceasefire with the border restored to the 17th parallel. The United States withdraws it's troops, but continues to support South Vietnam through advisers and military equipment.

What happens as a result of this ceasefire? Does the North honour the ceasefire or does it break it like it did with the OTL Paris Peace Accords? Would a ceasefire result in a Humphrey administration in the US after the 1968 presidential elections?
