A major campaign in Asia leads to native unrest with women in march (7,3)
I believe the answer is:
vietnam war
'a major campaign in asia leads' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'native unrest with women in march' is the wordplay.
'unrest' is an anagram indicator.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'women' becomes 'w'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'march' becomes 'mar' ('Mar' can be a synonym of 'march'**).
'w' going inside 'mar' is 'mwar'.
'native' is an anagram of 'vietna'.
'vietna'+'mwar'='VIETNAM WAR'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
