The Vietnam War and the Protest Against It

Secretary of State John Kelly once said "I saw the courage in the Vietnam War and the fight with it, the Vietnam War lasted in 1956," Patriotism knew that it included protests as well as military service. By the time of the conflict in 1975, the United States and South Vietnam participated in a conflict with the Communist Party of North Vietnam. Many Americans strongly oppose the war that caused many protests and riots. The war lasted 25 years, killed a lot of people and eventually won the victory of North Vietnam.

In the late 1960s, nonviolent means including protest marchies gradually turned into protests against the Vietnam War. Students attending these organizations conducted numerous protests against war on campuses of universities and universities. In particular, protests at Columbia University in 1968 were furious, and their students were ambitious to participate in a national discussion about the Vietnam War. On April 23, 1968, about 150 students and members of the community went to the construction site and disbanded part of the fence. They then moved to Hamilton Hall, took over the building, and served as College of Acting College (Adler, 2008). In the end they discontinued the construction of the gym in the public places of Morningside Park and won their goal of cutting off relations with the Department of Defense to study the Vietnam War (Kifner, 2008).

The protest against the Vietnam War took place from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. The protest actions were mainly part of the campaign against the Vietnam War in America. (Democratic society student, free speech movement, Jerry Rubin, Abi Hoffman, Young International, Chicago 7). The expanding antiwar movement shocked many of the US government. On August 16, 1966, the House Non-American Activity Committee (HUAC) issued a survey of Americans suspected of assisting the NLF with the aim of enacting legislation to make these activities illegal It was started. Anti-war demonstration team interrupted the meeting and 50 people were arrested

Attentional opposition to the Vietnam War is steadily headed toward mass protests in an attempt to change American public opinion. During the protest against the war, the riot began in the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Following the news report on US military abuse (such as the massacre of My Lai in 1968), several veterans joined the anti-war movement of Vietnam war veterans, bringing new attention and support to the antiwar movement. On October 15, 1969, Vietnam's ban has attracted millions of Americans. In 1970, the fatal shooting of four students at Kent State University led to nationwide university protests. After signing the Paris Peace Agreement in 1973, the anti-war protest faded with the final withdrawal of the army.
