Unit Essay: 1968, the Turning Point
In order to get credit for this project, you must write a well-developed essay on the following topic:
1968, the Turning Point
1968 was the year of fiercest fighting in Vietnam. Most historians consider the Tet Offensive and 1968 to be the turning point in the Vietnamese Conflict: after 1968 the US began to gradually ramp down its commitment to the Vietnam Conflict and the South Vietnamese government, a policy Nixon called, "Achieving Peace With Honor" and others called "Vietnamization". Examine US policy and attitude after Tet and write a 5 paragraph essay analyzing how the actions of United states after 1968 represented a desire to achieve peace with honor rather than victory in Vietnam.
