WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Americans could see military abuses on television, such as the My Lai Massacre in 1968, which sparked riots in cities and university campuses across the nation. This outrage, fueled by television coverage, ultimately led to the decision to withdrawal of U.S. troops in 1973, and end of the U.S involvement in the war.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many Americans opposed the war on moral grounds, appalled by the devastation and violence of the war. Others claimed the conflict was a war against Vietnamese independence, or an intervention in a foreign civil war; others opposed it because they felt it lacked clear objectives and appeared to be unwinnable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vietnam was the first televised war; it was by no means the first unpopular American war.

Detailed explanation-4: -On October 21, 1967, one of the most prominent antiwar demonstrations took place as some 100, 000 protesters gathered at the Lincoln Memorial-around 30, 000 of them continued in a march on the Pentagon later that night.

Detailed explanation-5: -As the war continued and more young men were drafted, it became increasingly unpopular with the American public. Photographs and videos shown on the news, many of which were graphic and upsetting, brought the war into the American home.
