1970s Anti-War Movement

The 1970s Anti-War Movement was a widespread social effort opposing the Vietnam War, which escalated in the late 1960s. It involved protests, demonstrations, and civil disobedience across the U.S. and globally, driven by concerns over military casualties, ethical issues, and government transparency. The movement united students, activists, and many citizens advocating for peace and ending U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Its influence contributed to shifting public opinion, political pressure, and ultimately, the withdrawal of American forces from Vietnam. The movement significantly shaped political discourse and civil rights activism during that era.
