Turning Point of the Vietnam War - The Tet Offensive I THE COLD WAR
The Vietnam War is the most prominent of the proxy wars during the
Cold War. The turning
point in the conflict was the
Tet Offensive. A huge attack by the viet cong in various cities of
South Vietnam. It completely took the US- and
South Vietnamese troops by surprise. By calculations the offensive was a victory for the
USA, but in hindsight it had a huge impact on the home front.
Find out all about the Tet Offensive and the battle tactics of the assaults in South Vietnam with
Indy Neidell on
