The anti-war movement refers to a social and political campaign opposing military conflict and advocating for peace. It gained significant momentum during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 1970s, as many people protested against the United States' involvement in the conflict. Activists organized demonstrations, rallies, and educational events to raise awareness about the war's consequences and promote peaceful resolutions. The movement has continued to evolve, addressing various conflicts and military actions worldwide. It often includes a diverse range of groups, such as veterans, students, and human rights organizations, all united in their desire to prevent war and promote diplomacy over violence.
