When did Vietnam become independent from its colonists?

It depends on how you read the question. There are three possible dates:

2 September 1945 -- This is when the Viet Minh (the forerunners of the Vietnamese government) declared independence from France. However, the Vietnamese people were still under French control. (You can compare this to 4 July 1776 for the United States in that the Americans were still under British occupation when the Declaration of Independence was issued.)

1 August 1954 -- This is the date when the French surrendered at the end of the First Indochina War and allowed North Vietnam to become an independent country. However, South Vietnam came under strong US sponsorship and quasi-occupation. Vietnamese today (and North Vietnamese at the time) characterize the South Vietnamese government as a US colonial government. Americans argue that it was simply a close relationship, like the US currently enjoys with Israel or South Korea. Regardless while this was the first establishment of Vietnamese sovereignty since the establishment

2 July 1976 -- This was the date when South Vietnam was reunified with North Vietnam and is the date when all of Vietnam (ruled by the former North Vietnamese government) expelled foreign influences.

Why was Tet a turning point in the Vietnam war?

In 1968, General William Westmoreland had been telling the President that victory in Vietnam was within reach. Just as newspapers were reporting that information to the public, the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong launched their Tet Offensive. (Tet was the Vietnamese New Year) About 70,000 communist troops attacked about 30 South Vietnamese cities and towns. The Americans eventually were able to drive the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops out of those areas and the Offensive was over and a defeat for the North. But, it was a shock to the American public. They had not been led to believe that such an attack was capable on the part of the North or Viet Cong. The number of Americans killed and wounded continued to climb and were reported every evening on the TV news. The cost of the war had risen to about $70 million PER DAY. Yet victory for the US seemed as far away as ever. Public approval of President Johnson's handling of the war dropped from 40 percent to 26 percent. The President appeared visibly shaken. Close aides were so concerned about the President that they consulted psychiatrists.
