The main impact of Tet was to harden US civilians' resolve against the war. This is because Tet, on the ground, was an absolute disaster for the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese. We had been led to believe the Vietnamese couldn't launch an offensive like this, and when it happened it shocked the Americans.
The fighting that made up the Tet Offensive lasted for several days in some South Vietnamese cities. This map shows the route taken by North Vietnamese troops. During the Buddhist holiday of Tet, over 80,000 Vietcong troops emerged from their tunnels and attacked nearly every major metropolitan center in South Vietnam.Surprise strikes were made at the American base at Danang, and even the seemingly impenetrable American embassy in Saigon was attacked.s late as January 1968, only a few weeks before Tet, only 28 percent of the American public labeled themselves doves.. But by April 1968, six weeks after the Tet Offensive, doves outnumbered hawks 42 to 41 percent.
