History
1 answer:
pochemuha3 years ago
6 0

These two technologies were the development of a  safe elevator  and the method of building using a grid of steel beams. 

In 1853, an American inventor called Elisha Graves Otis developed a safety device that kept elevators from falling should a  cable break. This new development had an enormous impact on public confidence. Later in the century, the change to an electric motor made the elevator a practical solution to the problem of getting up and down tall buildings.

In Chicago during the 1880s, lack of space for building became a problem due to a high rate of development, and the only alternative was to build upward. Construction techniques had to change and so a new method of building was developed that used a grid of steel beams and columns that were strong enough to support any stresses or forces a building may experience. With this new building method, the skyscraper was born.

Which detail from this first-hand account of the Tet Offensive demonstrates that it was a surprise attack?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Tet was launched in January 30th 1968, Tet being the Chinese New Year.

The attack was a complete surprise. The guard of the South Vietnamese army was lowered by Tet celebrations. Moreover the Vietcong and NVA switched their offensive from the countryside to the cities, which again took the South Vietnamese and Americans by surprise.

The fact that the Vietcong could get right inside the American embassy in Saigon emphasized the surprise nature of the attack.

Tet was actually a military defeat for the communists as they sustained massive losses. However psychologically it was a massive victory for them. Widespread coverage of the raging battles in cities such as Saigon and Hue on American televisions every night, swayed public opinion against the war, as the images suggested the Vietcong could go anywhere, and so it suggested the US was losing the war.
