American Anti-Vietnam War Movement

The American Anti-Vietnam War Movement was a widespread effort in the 1960s and early 1970s where citizens protested U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Many Americans opposed the war due to its high human cost, questioning its moral justification and the government's transparency. Protesters organized marches, demonstrations, and voiced concerns through speeches and publications. The movement gained momentum, influencing public opinion and policymakers, and became a key element in the broader counterculture of the time. Ultimately, it played a role in shaping the eventual withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam.
