The Viet Cong, a communist guerrilla group, began their rebellion against the South Vietnamese government in the late 1950s, gaining significant momentum in the early 1960s. Their activities included sabotage, assassinations, and ambushes aimed at undermining the South Vietnamese government and its U.S. support. The conflict escalated into the Vietnam War, which lasted from the mid-1960s until 1975. The Tet Offensive in 1968 marked a significant turning point in the Viet Cong's efforts against South Vietnam.
