Following this news, many people feared the world was on the brink of nuclear war. However, disaster was avoided when the U.S. agreed to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s (1894-1971) offer to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the U.S. promising not to invade Cuba. Kennedy also secretly agreed to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey.

In what ways was the Tet offensive different from earlier fighting in Vietnam?
Andrew [12]

Answer: General Giap began a massive offensive toward main objectives in the cities of South Vietnam in January 1968. The attack was psychosomatic except that it clearly directed to build an illusion in u.s. households that they were fighting the battle, direct contrast to where their own state had told them. Further more Tet was quite good.
