Answer
Brief Explanations:
The Tet Offensive was a major military campaign during the Vietnam War. It was launched by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces against South Vietnamese and U.S. forces. The timing (during the Tet holiday, a time when a cease - fire was expected) and the scale of the attacks caught the U.S. by surprise. The Gulf of Tonkin incident was in 1964. Agent Orange was a chemical used throughout the war but its use was not a single event that caught the U.S. by surprise in 1968. The overthrow of President Diem was in 1963.
