Tet Offensive

Answer 1

The turning point in the Vietnam War where public opinion in the United States significantly turned against the war is considered to be the **Tet Offensive**. This was a coordinated series of attacks by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces in January 1968, which contradicted the U.S. government's claims that the war was nearing a successful conclusion. The extensive media coverage of the offensive shocked the American public and shifted sentiment against the war.
