The Vietnam War protests were a series of demonstrations and movements in the United States and other countries during the 1960s and early 1970s. These protests arose in response to the U.S. involvement in the war, which many people viewed as unjust and unnecessary. Activists, students, and various organizations rallied to express their opposition, often using marches, sit-ins, and public speeches to raise awareness. 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. These protests played a significant role in shaping public opinion and ultimately contributed to the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam in 1973.
