8. Why the Tet Offensive considered the turning point in the Vietnam War?

History
1 answer:
g100num [7]2 years ago
8 0
The Tet Offensive is considered the turning point in the war for two reasons: first because it almost decimated south Vietnam and it changed how most Americans viewed the war. So, the Tet Offensive occurred during the Vietnamese New year called Tet. A week-long cease fire occurred so the Vietnamese could celebrate this holiday, but north Vietnam had their fingers crossed behind their back and attacked over 100 south Vietnamese cities simultaneously. This was a major loss for the American side because they couldn't recapture the cities for many months afterward. Back in the United states, Americans were seeing the horrors of war on television and this was kind of the smack in the head for many Americans to wonder why are we here? Why are we in Vietnam? President Lyndon Johnson was blamed for this and his popularity plummeted causing him to announce that he would not be running for a second term as president.

Why dose the author take time to describe the behaviors and values of Spaniards and the Natives?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Early interactions between the Spanish and Native Americans who lived in Central and South America led to a series of cultural exchanges that affected both the New World and the Old World.

Explanation:

A social system in which class status is determined at birth. The Spanish had mixed-race children in the Americas with enslaved Africans and Native Americans. Status was determined by how “Spanish” one was, so those with little to no Spanish blood were in the lowest class.

What were the earliest anthropological theories made about the toltec mounds
Mice21 [21]
<span>Answer: Toltec Mounds is one of the largest archaeological sites in the Mississippi River valley. The site encompasses about 100 acres and originally included 18 total mounds. We do not know what the Native people called themselves, as they did not have a form of writing. The people seem to have left the area around 1050 A.D. and although we do not know exactly why they built the mounds, they did leave some clues behind. The mounds were built in a large rectangle shape, known as the ceremonial plaza. Although many of the mounds didn’t survive to our modern time, the ones remaining are quite massive. As we approached the largest mound, Mound A, our guide pointed out that it sits at 49 feet tall. In our times, that may not seem to be much, but they didn’t live in a time with tractors and a backhoe. All the dirt that was relocated was done by hand and possibly a bowl. It would take a great deal of time and effort to form just one mound, let alone 18. toltec-mounds-state-park-double-mounds</span>
