What battle began during the early morning hours of January 31 1968 or tet nguyen dan the first day of the year and most important vietnamese holiday?

Answer 1

The battle that began during the early morning hours of January 31, 1968, was the Tet Offensive, a coordinated series of attacks by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces against South Vietnamese and U.S. military targets. Launched during the Tet Nguyen Dan, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, the offensive aimed to surprise and galvanize the Vietnamese population against the South Vietnamese government and its American allies. Despite initial successes and widespread attacks across the country, the Tet Offensive ultimately ended in a military defeat for the North, but it significantly shifted public perception of the war in the United States.
