The South Vietnamese, U.S., Korean and Australian forces quickly stopped each battle, causing very high numbers of enemy force casualties.
The only battle lasting longer than a day or two was in the old imperial capital of Hue (pronounced 'way'). That battle lasted three weeks.
But because the North Vietnamese regular army forces killed thousands of people in Hue, the people were enraged against the communist forces rather than supporting them.

There are multiple factors that contributed to the lack of widespread rebellion by South Vietnamese during the Tet Offensive. Some reasons include the effectiveness of the U.S. and South Vietnamese military in suppressing the offensive, the fear of reprisals by the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong, and the belief in the South Vietnamese government's promise of stability and progress. Additionally, the offensive initially caught many South Vietnamese by surprise, which prevented organized resistance from forming immediately.

Was colonization a peaceful process between the French and the Vietnamese?
It was not peaceful (I don't think any colonization was peaceful). The French bombarded Vietnamese harbors in the late 1850's, and captured Saigon in 1859. In 1862, the French forced the Vietnamese royal court to sign the Treaty of Saigon, which ceded three southern Vietnamese provinces to France. France established the colony of Cochinchina (southern Vietnam) in 1867. Over the next 30 years, France absorbed northern Vietnam (1884), Cambodia (1887) and Laos (1893) into its Indochina colonial empire. In their policy of colonial control, the French allowed the Vietnamese monarchy to exist as a puppet government. However, there was intermittent, low-level guerrilla resistance against the French throughout the colonial years. This mostly took the form of sporadic attacks on tax collectors and other Vietnameee officials that were viewed as complicit with the French. There were a couple notable revolts, such as in 1910 and again in 1931, but they were crushed by the French. It wasn't until after WWII in 1945 that Vietnamese rebels (communists & nationlists) started large-scale rebellion against French forces. The French withdrew in 1955-56.
