Vietnam War protests

Vietnam War protests were widespread demonstrations by individuals opposing the U.S. involvement in Vietnam (1955-1975). Citizens, students, veterans, and activists criticized the war’s cost, morality, and impact, arguing it was unjust and damaging. Protests included marches, sit-ins, and draft resistance, and they helped shape public opinion, pressuring politicians to reconsider U.S. policies. The movement reflected broader social and political tensions of the 1960s and early 1970s, emphasizing concerns about violence, government transparency, and civil rights, and played a significant role in eventually influencing the U.S. decision to withdraw from Vietnam.
