U.S. Marines March to Retake Hue
Communist forces seized Hue in 1968 when they attacked almost all the major cities of South Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. United States and South Vietnamese troops recaptured Hue less than a month later. The offensive resulted in great losses for the North Vietnamese and the National Liberation Front, but it caused growing opposition to the war in the United States. In 1973 U.S. forces were finally withdrawn, and armed resistance in South Vietnam collapsed in April 1975.
