Though the Tet offensive was eventually pushed back by South Vietnamese forces, the main aim of this strike was to lower morale and support for the republic in the South.

However, the fact that the cease fire had been publicly announced in both North and South Vietnam prior to the Tet Lunar New Year Celebrations, meant that the public frowned down upon the North Vietnamese as they had broken the cease fire agreement.

The only way that the Tet offensive was effective was the fact that the attack was publicised in America showing that the North Vietnamese could launch such a large attack when the US government had convince the US public that they were not capable of such a large scale attack.
