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.

No. The TET offensive of 1968 was designed to attack every provincial capital in South Vietnam to incite a general uprising of the South Vietnamese people against their government. The tactic failed to produce those results, but the street fighting in the old imperial capital of Hue (pronounced 'way') lasted just over three weeks, giving the perception to the American television audience that the North Vietnamese were winning. It was the 'beginning of the end' for the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war.
During the Tet Offensive in January 1968, the communists, primarily the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong, targeted key cities and military installations across South Vietnam. Major locations included the U.S. Embassy in Saigon, the American military base at Khe Sanh, and provincial capitals such as Hue and Da Nang. The offensive aimed to incite a popular uprising and demonstrate the strength of the communist forces, striking at the heart of American and South Vietnamese military presence. Despite initial surprises, the offensive ultimately resulted in significant casualties for the communists and a shift in public opinion in the United States regarding the Vietnam War.
The Tet Offensive, launched by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces in January 1968, was characterized by surprise attacks on multiple cities and military bases in South Vietnam, widespread coordination, and a significant psychological impact on American public opinion. However, a notable characteristic that did not define the Tet Offensive was a lack of support from the South Vietnamese population; in fact, many South Vietnamese viewed the offensive as a violation of their desire for peace.
Vietnamese American Armed Forces Association was created in 2008.
