Tet Offensive (jan 30, 1968 – sep 23, 1968)
Description:
The Tet Offensive was the beginning of the withdrawal of U.S. troops. The Communist North Vietnamese forces launched a series of attacks on over 100 cities and outposts in South Vietnam during a Vietnamese holiday, surprising South Vietnamese forces. While the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces somewhat held off the attack, the Tet Offensive turned American public opinion more strongly against the war.Added to timeline:
