The correct answer is option D: the Vietcong and North Vietnamese showed that they could still fight.

The Tet offensive was considered a turning point in the Vietnam War because it showed the Vietcong and North Vietnamese could still fight more. It was led by Vo Nguyen Giap who was one of the best generals of the 20th century.

He was trained in guerrilla war tactics, so he planned the offensive and decided to attack on Christmas Eve when it was least expected.

For that reason, Giap attacked two fronts:  the US Marines' firebase in Khe Sanh and, at the same time, the NLF and NVA attacked the major cities of South Vietnam. Even though the Tet offensive didn't succeed as expected, it had a deep and lasting effect during the war, which proved to be a turning point.

One role that geography played in helping the Roman empire was by providing natural barriers to invasions.

<h3>How did geography help the Roman empire?</h3>

The Roman empire in its early stages, was able to take advantage of natural barriers to protect it from invasion by hostile tribes and kingdoms.

For instance, the Alps in Northern Italy made it difficult to invade Roman areas in Italy from the North. And the fact that Italy was a peninsular meant that to invade it, one would have to invade by sea where the Roman navy was stationed.
