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.

19. What is Commonwealth Capitalism?
otez555 [7]

Liberalism can be summed up as the postulate of the free use by each individual or member of a society of his property (the fact that some have only one property: their workforce while others own the means of production is not denied, only omitted). In this sense, all men are equal, a fact enshrined in the fundamental principle of the bourgeois constitution: all are equal before the law, the concrete basis of formal equality between the members of a society. In an extension of this, a second idea proposes the commonwealth, according to which property and freedom-based social organization serves the good of all. (Incidentally, if there is no antagonism between social classes, action can be driven by reason, hence rationalism.) This is the crux of the ideological proposition, which seeks the consented domination of workers through the operation of identifying the interest of the ruling class (maintaining the prevailing social order) with the interest of society as a whole - the nation.
