This came to be known as the TET offensive.In Saigon, raiders penetrated the walls of the American Embassy compound, but never actually occupied the embassy successfully.In the ancient imperial capital city of Hue, the North Vietnamese Army regulars moved into the city and occupied it for just over three weeks. Street-to-street and house-to-house fighting occurred between the North Vietnamese army and the U.S. Marines, Army, and South Vietnamese troops to regain control of the city.The North Vietnamese expectation was a massive uprising by the people of South Vietnam against the South's government and the U.S. presence in order to bring about a unification of the country. Instead, the TET offensive was a military failure - but through media accounts became a tipping point in U.S. sentiment against the war.
