68 Student Movement

The 68 Student Movement was a significant wave of protests and activism by university students in 1968, primarily in West Germany. It aimed to challenge traditional authority, advocate for democratic reforms, and address societal issues like education reform, political transparency, and anti-war sentiments. Inspired by global student uprisings, the movement emphasized free expression, participatory democracy, and social change, influencing policies and attitudes toward authority and politics in Germany. It marked a turning point in post-war German history, fostering greater student involvement and critical engagement with societal structures.
