Anti-Vietnam War protests

The Anti-Vietnam War protests were a series of demonstrations and movements in the United States during the 1960s and early 1970s against American involvement in the Vietnam War. Many people, including students, civil rights activists, and veterans, opposed the war due to its high casualties and the belief that it was unjust. Protests grew in size and intensity, culminating in notable events like the Kent State shooting in 1970, which resulted in the deaths of four students. These protests significantly influenced public opinion and contributed to the eventual decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Vietnam in 1973.
