north Vietnam launched a huge insurgency of 78000 men to reunify Vietnam. la drang and daktau were used as diversion battles, to divert US forces away from the primary objective of Saigon. Military victory for USA, but psycologically after the Tet, the USA began pulling out of the Vietnam War
The NVA held the cities in the northern regions, while the VC infiltrated into the allied areas in the southern sectors. While fighting in the southern sectors was house to house, and identifying who was who; in the northern AO's (Areas of Operation) the NVA embattled US forces in a conventional WWII style of warfare; such as at the city of Hue...these were set-piece battles.
1. It was an open attack
2. It was nation wide
The big cities of SOUTH Vietnam never seen "much" fighting; other than the TET Offensive in 1968. During this offensive, the cities of Hue (pronounced WAY) and Saigon saw a lot of fighting. In particular, the city of Hue, because it was the closest to North Vietnam, it's just below the DMZ (17th parallel). Smaller towns (villages) were either wiped out or relocated and turned into "Free Fire Zones."
That day arrived in the spring of 1972, when the North Vietnamese launched a large-scale conventional offensive in South Vietnam's northern provinces. The U.S., claiming that this was an "invasion of South Vietnam" and a "flagrant violation" of the 1968 bombing halt agreement, resumed bombing of North Vietnam and then, when the offensive continued and Hanoi did not agree to U.S. demands, escalated further the bombing and mined the country's principal port.

The Tang Dynasty (618-907) Vietnam had many successful tactics of growing different strains of rice. With their surplus of rice, many different countries wanted to invade them to know how Vietnam was so successful at growing rice. To ensure that their empire was safe, they sold rice continuously to other nations and empires, including China.
Vietnam. Yes the yanks did get smashed by peasants, but as this ruined the entire country of Vietnam, no other country wanted to be like Vietnam.
same as all the other battles
Wars prior to Vietnam were ground taking wars (territorial gains). Vietnam was a body count war-a war of attrition.
Examples of offensive tactics would be using a giant catapult to hurl large stones at the beseiged walls or using a battering ram to force entry to entrance doors or walls. Examples of defensive tactics would be pouring boiling oil or other burning liquid from the walls of the beseiged structure onto the attackers - or even throwing bodily waste or corpses.
A war of attrition was the strategy. Search & destroy was the tactic (method) used to achieve that plan (strategy). Reason: Because taking ground would not be the objective as all other past wars had been. Vietnam would be strictly body count.
North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam.
the us government withdrew all troops from Vietnam, because the enemies guerrilla tactics made it a one sided war. We were losing countless soldiers in a war that didnt directly affect us, until the american citizens protested over having their loved ones and countless others sent to a country on the other side of the world.
A good number of US Civil War historians believe that the numerous Confederate offensives carried out in the war were related to two factors. One factor was the Southern generals belief that the offensive campaigns carried out against the Mexican army during the Mexican War was a demonstration of the positive power of offensive battlefield tactics. Also, many cite the Celtic heritage of many Southern generals as another cause. Over history, Celtic peoples have shown a tendency towards offensive war tactics. This factor is disputed by other historians.
