Ok, there is a fine line between loosing a war and being defeated. It was the american objective to curb the wake of communism within vietnam and implement a democratic and american friendly system of rule. America won militarily but lost when it came to changing the hearts and minds of the people and the vietkong. As for successes, we can say it did set an example to other "red friendly' nations in the same way the iraq was an example to other terrorist friendly nations, cause who right now is or was backing iraq? Nobody.

In the big picture, the Vietnam war was a skirmish in the Cold War. By engaging in SE Asia we forced the Soviets and China to spend more money than the could afford on their militaries. Eventually, that is what brought down the Soviet Union.

Re-buffing the Tett offensive is one. I could go onto list all of the military engagements, but it is probably better to quote an American general.
During the final stages, when America was about to sign a peace treaty, the American representative proclaimed:
"We never lost a battle".
The Vietnamese representative asked:
"What does that have to do with any thing?"
Luck

Unfortunately the only success I can think of is Mr. Johnson getting rich.

It's YOUR assignment and the teacher wants YOU to research this, not us. Get off your lazy behind and get busy.
