The Vietnam War: The Tet Offensive

From the mid-1960s to the latter half, the conflict in Vietnam invoked a big controversy. This is mainly because it is a war that is not declared and the purpose is not clear. It is operated primarily by Vietcong guerrilla from the North and NVA and ARVN from the US and South. During the conflict the southern seemed to dominate; until climate war it turned out to be a military failure; it was called Tet attack. On January 21, Tet Offensive started a transfer attack against Khe Sanh.

Early in the morning of January 31, 1968, the North Vietnamese army began attacking during the Vietnam War. Under the leadership of the Northern Vietnamese government, Teto's attack simultaneously included attacks of about 85,000 soldiers. The attacks took place in five major cities of South Vietnam, dozens of military facilities, and dozens of municipalities throughout South Vietnam. The name of the crime came from a Vietnamese New Year 's holiday, during which an attack occurred.

From 30 to 31 January 1968, 70 thousand North Vietnamese soldiers and NLF guerrillas launched one of the most daring military operations in history. Teto's attack was the real turning point of the Vietnam War. In commemoration of the 40th anniversary, Alan Woods analyzed the importance of the events leading to the Vietnam War and the Spring Festival to attack the defeat of American imperialism, and there were some similarities with Iraq. The Vietnamese people call it "CENT LANCHONE MY CURNUEOKU" or "Battle for Americans to save the country". About 58,000 American soldiers were killed during the war, and 304,000 people were injured during the war. However, in addition to the terrible victims the people of Vietnam suffered, these figures are not important. About 1.4 million North-South Vietnamese are killed in battle

Economically, after the Spring Festival offensive, the US provided more economic support for the Vietnam War. After the Spring Festival's attack, President Johnson raised income tax to strengthen support for the Vietnam War. It was used to restore the army and make its military strength stronger. US participation in Vietnam now cost more than $ 66 million a day, much more than before. (186 million to 192 million in 1960-1980 was 186 million - 722 million) Poverty deteriorated by raising income tax by Tetoffense
