Why did general westmoreland perceive tet as another battle of the bulge?
Never thought about it before, but there are similarities. The Allies called it the Battle of the Bulge, but to the Germans it was the Ardennes Offensive. The Battle of the Bulge was the largest offensive which the Germans ever launched against the US in WW2, and Tet was the largest offensive mounted against the US by North Vietnam. Both caused initial panic, produced high casualties, and were eventually defeated. Marines defending Khe Sanh were surrounded like the 101st Airborne which had defended Bastogne. Of course, Tet was more of a surgical strike than the Bulge, and it was an unintentional propaganda success because its news images horrified the American public and convinced many that US involvement had been a mistake. If such news coverage had been possible (and allowed) during the Battle of the Bulge, its effect on the home front can only be speculated today.
What led the way for Allied forces to attack Japan?
During World War II, Japan's initial offensives were wildly successful, and the Allies were on the retreat throughout the Pacific. After several key victories, however, the Allies soon began their own series of attacks. Perhaps the most important "key" victory was the American victory in the Battle of Midway (in June of 1942), which blunted Japan's carrier force and bought the Allies valuable time to gather their resources for offensive action.

What was the importance of the battle of bulge?
The Battle of the Bulge (officially known as the Ardennes Offensive) was the last major Nazi offensive of World War II. The attack began on December 16, 1944 to try and beak up the alliance between Britain, France and America in western Europe. The battle was a last ditch attempt by the Nazis to split up the allied offense towards Germany. The Allies were caught off guard by the attack and there was a bulge created in the Allied front line. (Which is how the battle got its popular name.) But the German's initial success lasted only two days. By December 23rd the Americans had started their counter-attack. On Christmas Eve the Allies were attacked by the first ever attack by jet bombers. But by mid-January 1945 the Germans, running out of fuel, just had to abandon their vehicles. The Battle of the Bulge was the largest battle of the war with 600,000 US troops engaged in the battle. There were 81,000 American troops lost and 100,000 German casualties.

Who won the battle that day on d day?
D-day was more of an operation than battle; it could only be a success or a failure. As the Allies achieved their missions (to secure the beachheads and the bridges captured by airborne troops), t has to be said that the operation was a success.
