Vietnam: the Tet Offensive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9PnqsbsWJk Finish video

Impact of the Tet Offensive Domestic U.S. Reaction: Disbelief, Anger, Distrust of Johnson Administration Seen as an American defeat

#1.

Public Opinion of the War HAWKS DOVES People who supported the war’s goals. Wanted more troops and more bombings in order to win. WE MUST WIN! People who opposed the war. Don’t know why we are there Protest the war College Campuses War Costs too much Destroying the people and society Too many American lives lost

#2.

President Nixon and Vietnamization, 1969-1975 Nixon’s plan for the gradual withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam “We have to get rid of the nightmares we inherited. One of the nightmares is a war without end.” By 1972, American soldiers in Vietnam was less than 25,000

Pentagon Papers 7,000 page document prepared for Defense Secretary Robert McNamara. It revealed plans that the government was making plans for entering the war in Vietnam even as President Johnson promised not to send American troops to Vietnam Confirms Americans distrust of the government

The End of the War After years of negotiations, on January 27, 1973 the U.S. signed an agreement ending the war North Vietnamese troops would remain in South Vietnam March 29, 1973 the last of American combat forces left Vietnam

End of the War cont. Within months of the peace agreement, the cease-fire agreement between North and South Vietnam collapsed In March of 1975, North Vietnam launched a full scale attack on South Vietnam Within a month, Saigon fell to North Vietnam and South Vietnam surrendered

Legacy of the War 58,000 U.S. soldiers died 365,000 wounded 15% of the 3.3 million soldiers returned home with delayed stress syndrome War Powers Act- President must inform Congress within 48 hours if U.S. forces are sent into a hostile area without a declaration of war. In addition, the troops cannot remain there for more than 90 days without Congressional approval or a declaration of war Reverses the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution

Lasting Impacts (Effects) Hesitant to send in troops overseas again. American public does not trust the government any more. “Vietnamization” fails… The Media will play a major role in shaping public opinion any military conflict from this time forward. Not just guns and strength…you must win the “hearts and minds” of the people to win a war.
