The Anti-Vietnam War Protests were a series of demonstrations in the United States during the 1960s and early 1970s, opposing the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. These protests were fueled by growing public discontent over the war's human cost and its impact on American society. Many activists believed that the war was unjust and called for an end to military engagement. Key events included the 1969 Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, which drew millions of participants, and the Kent State shootings in 1970, where four students were killed during a protest. The movement played a significant role in shaping public opinion and influencing U.S. policy regarding the war.
