The North Vietnamese ended the war by winning it. We can debate endlessly about who in America ended it by losing.

A minor point: Although portrayed by the media as a disaster for the U.S. miltary, in reality Tet was a major victory for our armed forces. It was the death knell of the VC as effective combatants.
