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.

Was the Tet Offensive positive or negative?

Well, honey, the Tet Offensive was a mixed bag of nuts. It was a military victory for the North Vietnamese, but it was a huge blow to American morale and public support for the war. So, you could say it was positive for one side and negative for the other. It's like trying to decide if a hot fudge sundae is good or bad for your diet - depends on which side of the scale you're standing on.
