but a democratic government elected in 1984.

What 1968 event caused US military leaders to be concerned that a quick end to the war was not possible
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/12
The event was the TET, or Chinese New Year, that began on
January 30th, 1968. The North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong forces
launched attacks in every province of South Vietnam. The City of
Hue (the birthplace of Ho Chi Minh) was held by the communist
forces for over three weeks while U.S. forces fought in the streets
house to house to reclaim the city.
When news reports of this major offensive reached the United
States, the President, Congress, the public, and military leaders
felt that a quick stop to the conflict was not possible.
The TET Offensive proved to be a military disaster for the
North, and did not accomplish the massive uprising from South
Vietnam's citizens in favor of the North - but the public opinion
in the U.S. that winning was not easily possible gave the communist
forces a huge psychological victory.
