1968 As A Turning Point -- American Politics & Vietnam
[ send me this paper ]
This 9 page research paper examines the year 1968 as a sociopolitical turning point in which America changed its opinion about Vietnam. The temporary nature of American successes in the big unit war, the limited success of bombing in the north and on the infiltration routes, and the failure of the pacification campaign were all revealed in the Tet Offensive. Politically, the U.S. government and military had also proven themselves to be both unreliable and untrustworthy with such illegal moves as Operation Chaos. It is essentially argued that 1968 marked a turning point not only in how Americans would view their own government, but in how the government would accept these views. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
