Tet Offensive Begins
30-31 January 1968
In the Tet Offensive, North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces launch attacks against key targets in South Vietnam. The strikes’ high casualties mark a turning point in US attitudes towards the Vietnam War. Television news networks broadcast the horrors of the already unpopular war into 56 million American homes.
