    The war in Vietnam was a conflict that started in the 1950s and ended in the early 1970s. During this time period, the United States became increasingly involved in Vietnamese political, economic and military affairs.

    The Vietnam Era Antiwar Movement was one of the largest social movements in American history. In 1964 the United States began its military involvement in Vietnam. At this time, very few Americans were not against the United States’ involvement. But some Americans believed that the United States should have stayed out of the Vietnam War and should have withdrawn immediately. The U.S intervened because they didn't want South Vietnam to have a communist take over by North Vietnam. When the U.S started regularly bombing North Vietnam and increasing the draft in 1965, the protests and the Antiwar Movement became more serious. The Antiwar movement started from peace and social justice organizations that already existed. In a massive show of civil…

    Many Americans believed it was important to prevent South Vietnam from falling to Communism. Others believed the country should not get involved in the region's affairs. In addition, many Americans were opposed to the government's authorization of required enlistment as a way to mobilize troops for the war. By the mid 1960s, public protests against American involvement in Vietnam were becoming more common. Perhaps nowhere was this objection more evident than on U.S. college campuses. Students staged rallies and marches. They penned essays and songs to express their opinions. Many of these protestors expressed their opposition to the war by practicing a strategy of passive…

    There are many misconceptions about the anti-war movement, one being that it was the reason the Vietnam war ended. On the contrary, the movement was more social and cultural than it was political. As a single organization it had little impact, but as a whole movement, it was able to influence on a broader level the politics in America. Even the Johnson and Nixon administration insisted they would ignore the anti-war efforts yet still, they adapted their policies to those who dissented.(456) Those in opposition to the anti-war wave tried with great effort to discredit the movement.…

    Historical information about the period about the publications: The United States sent troops to Southern Vietnam in the early 1960’s to help stop the spread of Communism in Southeast Asia. In 1954, the Viet Cong gained control over Northern half of Vietnam, but the Southern half maintained a government friendly to the United States. Beginning in the late 1950’s, Northern Vietnam began waging a guerilla war to bring all of Vietnam under its control. The United States began supporting South Vietnam during the Eisenhower administration. The governments of South Vietnam were corrupt, unstable, and did not have the support of the people. Americans found themselves fighting a guerilla war, of which they had little experience. Because of overwhelming American firepower and technological capabilities, the Viet Cong relied on ambushes, land mines, and other surprise attacks to confuse and demoralize American troops.…

    Although the decade of the 1960s began on a positive note of idealism, the years to come were filled with distrust, anger, and opposition. The antiwar movement protesting the Vietnam War affected both the culture of the 1960s and the long-term public opinion of the American government. While the antiwar movement shaped public doubt of the Vietnam War in the 1960s, it also evoked distrust towards the government and led to a major split in American society, which is still apparent today. The antiwar movement protesting the Vietnam War rose from unrest among students and variations of protest slowly began to change public opinion regarding the war. American opposition to Vietnam differed from previous wars in that the majority of Americans were…

Kennedy and Johnson both used the domino theory as credible reasons for the United States to increase their involvement in South East Asia.
