Vietnam protests
Sixties antiwar movement
Vietnam protests refers to the widespread demonstrations against U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War, peaking between 1965 and 1973.
These protests occurred mainly on college campuses and in major cities, becoming a defining feature of 1960s counterculture.
The movement included marches, sit-ins, draft card burnings, and the chant Hell no, we won't go.
Events like the 1970 Kent State shootings, where National Guard troops killed four student protesters, intensified opposition to the war.
