The correct answer is "It was a military defeat for the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese but was a psychological victory as they demonstrated their ability to strike anywhere in the South."
Even though the U.S. and South Vietnamese armed forces were able to expel the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese armed forces from all the positions gained in the initial stage of the Tet Offensive, the ability of the latter to strike in force towns and cities all over South Vietnam, including Saigon, the capital, it undermined the statements made by the supreme commander of all U.S. armed forces in Vietnam, General Westmoreland, about a quick end for the war at the end of that year, 1968. For most political analysts, it became evident that the end of the war was still out of reach, which had a profound and negative effect in the U.S. population and an ever increasing antiwar sentiment in the country.
Hello!
Historical criticism will most likely take into account:
-The beliefs that were common during the period the text was written.
-Major political events that occurred when the text was written.
-The original audience for the text.
Why?
Historical criticism tries to understand the historical context behind a text, how the people of that time would think, how would they understand the message and what was the original intention of the author.
For studying that, historical factors should be studied. In the list, the suspenseful tone of the text and whether the text is popular with today's readers are not factors related to the historical context of the text.
Have a nice day!
