History

Answer:

D. It showed that the Vietcong could mount a successful attack on South Vietnamese and were not close to defeat despite what the US government told the American people.

Explanation:

Despite the gigantic military U.S. deployment and buildup in Vietnam, the Vietnamese communist forces managed to surprise American  and allied South Vietnamese troops by launching an offensive in 100 cities in January/February 1968, the Tet Offensive; that was what America´s and the world´s eyes could see.

The offensive was a military setback for the Communists (they weren´t able to take and hold in one city), but it was a huge PR and image success that influenced the mood of the American public opinion. It showed the chaos and brutality of the war, its uncertainty; it was not clear the U.S. was winning the war, as American leaders wanted people to believe. It reinforced opposition to war and the pacifist movement in American cities.

Tet is the Vietnamese Lunar New Year.

frutty [35]

The two post-Korean War American foreign policy crises/conflicts were the following:

The Cuban Missile Crisis and the US intervention in the Vietnam War.

The role the “Cold War Lens” had in forcing an American response was the permanent interest or top priority United States foreign policy of containment.

That policy of containment was implemented to stop the spread of Communism around the world.

Through the policy of containment, the United States could prevent the domino effect, and limit the expansion of Communism in different places.

Let's have in mind that during the Cold War years, the Soviet Union tried to spread Communism in different countries of the world, meanwhile, the United States tried to stop it.  

The Cuban Missile Crisis and the US intervention in the Vietnam War were two international conflicts that made the US federal government intervene in order to protect its interests and contain Russia Communism.

We conclude that during the Cold War years, the US and the USSR had many differences and exchanged accusations that put the world on the brink of another world war.

That was was the case of the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962.

They also competed in the arms race and the space race.
