United States' Involvement in the Vietnam War

The source of US participation in the Vietnam War tells us that the anti-war movement in the United States was small in 1964, and that it is a view of the minority. The author divides the population into three groups of neutral, supportive war, and anti-war. Parents' war is the greatest group since America's patriotism attracted the public at this early stage. Document 2 shows that the support of war has declined between 1964 and 1971. Even at the lowest level, support is only 25% of the surveyed population.

The US opposition to the Vietnam War began when the US military continued to escalate in the Vietnam War in 1964 and then evolved into a broad social movement in the next few years. This movement provided information on how to end the war from the late 1960s to the early 1970s and helped form a heavily biased debate primarily in the United States. Many people in the American peace movement are students, mothers, or anti-established hippies. The civil rights of African-American, the liberation of women, the Chicano movement, and the involvement of an organized labor sector strengthened the opposition. Many other groups are also participating, including educators, clergy, scholars, journalists, lawyers, doctors (such as Benjamin Spock), and veterans. Their actions mainly include peace and nonviolence, and there are few deliberate provocative and violent cases.

The Vietnam War escalated from the Vietnam Civil War to a limited international conflict and the United States suffered. The Vietnam War took place between South Vietnam and the US aid government aid and the assistance guerrilla of North Vietnam. The United States strengthened military intervention and signed a peace agreement in 1973, but the Vietnam War did not end until North Vietnam successfully invaded South Vietnam in 1975. The Vietnam War may be the longest war in America history, but after the collapse of South Vietnam, America questioned their very controversial participation in the failing cause.
