In the United States, many events were happening during the Vietnam War. One of these events was the Anti-War movement, which went along with the Civil Rights Movement. The Anti-War Movement was particularly aimed at stopping the Vietnam War (The Anti-War Movement in the United States. (n.d.). The Anti-War Movement in the United States). This movement attracted college students, labor unions, and government institutions (The Anti-War Movement in the United States. (n.d.). The Anti-War Movement in the United States). The Anti-War Movement began in college campuses, as members of the organization Students for a Democratic Society began expressing their opposition of the war (Vietnam War Protests. (n.d.). History.com). The movement gained national prominence in 1965 when the United states started bombing north Vietnam (Vietnam War Protests. (n.d.). History.com). On January 1968, the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) launched the Tet Offensive, which was the largest military campaign in the Vietnam War (Vietnam War Protests. (n.d.). History.com). This sparked the most intense period of anti-war protest to date (Vietnam War Protests. (n.d.). History.com). Soon, Vietnam veterans joined the protest against the war, many of them in wheelchairs and crutches (Vietnam War Protests. (n.d.). History.com). In February 1968, a Gallup pole showed that only 35% of the U.S. population approved of the handling of the war, while 50% of the U.S. population disagreed with it (the rest had no opinion of the war) (Vietnam War Protests. (n.d.). History.com). In December 1969, the U.S. government initiated the first draft since World War II, causing many young men to run to Canada to avoid being sent to Vietnam (Vietnam War Protests. (n.d.). History.com). Tension grew even more, causing acts of violence throughout the country, like the Kent State incident in 1970, where National Guard troops shot into a group of protester that were against the U.S. invasion of Cambodia, killing 4 students (Vietnam War Protests. (n.d.). History.com). In January 1973, President Nixon announced that he was going to effectively withdraw U.S. forces from Vietnam and from Southeast Asia.
