In June 1914, Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie traveled to Bosnia. On June 28, they narrowly escaped death when Serbian terrorists threw a bomb at their open-topped car. Later that day, Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip shot and killed Franz Ferdinand and his wife at point-blank range. Austria-Hungary was furious and, with Germany’s support, declared war on Serbia on July 28. Within days of the assassination, Germany declared war on Russia (who was Serbia's ally) and invaded France via Belgium, which then caused Britain to declare war on Germany. The United Kingdom, France and Russia (aka the Triple Entente), was opposing Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy (aka the Triple Alliance). Although Italy had been a member of the Triple Alliance since 1882, it ended up switching sides and joining the Triple Entente.

B. Why did the Tet offensive result in a lowered public
Paul [167]

Answer:

In coordinated attacks all across South Vietnam, communist forces launch their largest offensive of the Vietnam War against South Vietnamese and U.S. troops.

Dozens of cities, towns, and military bases–including the U.S. embassy in Saigon–were attacked. The massive offensive was not a military success for the communists, but its size and intensity shook the confidence of many Americans who were led to believe, by the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson, that the war would shortly be coming to a successful close.

On January 30, 1968-during the Tet holiday cease-fire in South Vietnam-an estimated 80,000 troops of the North Vietnamese Army and National Liberation Front attacked cities and military establishments throughout South Vietnam. The most spectacular episode occurred when a group of NLF commandos blasted through the wall surrounding the American embassy in Saigon and unsuccessfully attempted to seize the embassy building. Most of the attacks were turned back, with the communist forces suffering heavy losses.

Battles continued to rage throughout the country for weeks–the fight to reclaim the city of Hue from communist troops was particularly destructive. American and South Vietnamese forces lost over 3,000 men during the offensive. Estimates for communist losses ran as high as 40,000.

While the communists did not succeed militarily, the impact of the Tet Offensive on public opinion in the United States was significant. The American people, who had been told a few months earlier that the war was successful and that U.S. troops might soon be allowed withdraw, were stunned to see fighting taking place on the grounds of the U.S. embassy.
