Question 15 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Which statement best characterizes how US citizens reacted to the Tet Offensive?

Answer
A
Americans’ anger over the attacks increased support for the war.
B
Americans largely supported this strategy on the part of their troops.
C
More and more Americans opposed the continuation of the war.
D
Many Americans held rallies to express their pride in US troops.

Explanation

The Tet Offensive in 1968 showed that North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces could launch major attacks, despite US officials’ claims that the war was nearing victory. This widened the gap between those claims and what Americans saw, leading more people to oppose continuing the war. Therefore, the best answer is that more and more Americans opposed the continuation of the war.
