What was the viet cong uprising?

Answer 1

Good question. Must be the mis-informed people talking about the Tet Offensive of 1968. That wasn't a VC uprising...that was a communist offensive orchestrated by Hanoi and executed by the NVA; using a the VC as an additional "tool" for the attack.

Tet accomplished two things: Made the US look bad & destroyed the VC as a pliable force. As projected by North Vietnam, if and when they won the war against the US/allies they would'nt have to contend with the VC afterwards.

Bottom line: They were getting rid of two enemies with one stroke. The VC being projected as a future adversary when the dust settled.

Answer 2

The Viet Cong uprising was a communist insurgency that took place in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. The Viet Cong, also known as the National Liberation Front (NLF), was made up of South Vietnamese guerrilla fighters who fought against the ruling government and its allies, including the United States. The Viet Cong carried out diverse military and political activities, aiming to overthrow the South Vietnamese government and reunify the country under communist rule.
