Criticisms Of The Vietnam War

Decent Essays
When the Vietnam War started only a small percentage of the American population opposed the war.

Those who initially objected to the involvement in Vietnam fell into three broad categories: people with left-wing political opinions who wanted an NLF victory; pacifists who opposed all wars; and liberals who believed that the best way of stopping the spread of communism was by encouraging democratic, rather than authoritarian governments.

The Tribunal, and other critics of the war, claimed that the US behaviour in Vietnam was comparable to the atrocities committed by the Nazis in Europe during the Second World War.

His actions inspired others and throughout America, Anti-Vietnam War groups organised meetings where large groups of young men

    Dwight D. Eisenhower supported South Vietnam and would help them fight against the North Vietnam Communists. So, when Ho Chi Minh rose to power the United States declared war against the communist viet Minh part of North Vietnam. The United State’s strategy was “to kill as many enemy troops as possible rather than trying to secure territory” (HISTORY). Peace activists were against the war itself and the group started small on college campuses and then gained attention after the United States bombed North Vietnam; staying true to the goal of killing as many people as they could. Although a good portion of the country supported the war, there was a small group of Liberal minorities that were against the war.…

    The effect of the war resulted in lasting impacts on not only the soldiers but also on the population as a whole. This shows that the Vietnam War was not only fought in Vietnam but also in the US. The anti-Vietnam movement was posed against the pro-Vietnam movement. The treatment of veterans coming home from the war also illustrated how the country was so immersed with the politics of the war they did not even focus on the soldiers who risked their lives fighting for their…

    In general, everyone hated and protested the government for the Vietnam War. The reason for going to war in Vietnam was because the country split into two North and South. The North was a communist party, and the U.S. was afraid that if they left the South alone then the South would fall to communism. Due to this fear, the U.S. sent in troops to stop the reign of communism. The reason for protest didn 't just come from the fact that the U.S. used the draft, but because society knew that the war should never have been started in the first place.…

    The people in the US opposed the war for many reasons. In the following essay I am going to talk about three representations that show opposition to the Vietnam War and explain which one I think is best. I am going to analyse the representations using the criteria of objectivity, completeness and accuracy. Representation 1 was written last year in 2015 by a website called factualworld.com which, since then, has been deleted so it is debatable on whether the source is reliable and the reliability relies on how objective the website was.…

    To start the war, “North Vietnamese torpedo boats attacked two U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin, and President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered the retaliatory bombing of military targets in North Vietnam. By the time U.S. planes began regular bombings of North Vietnam in February 1965, some critics had begun to question the government’s assertion that it was fighting a democratic war to liberate the South Vietnamese people from Communist aggression.” That shows that Northern Vietnam was picking a fight with America and we needed to retaliate against them, obviously concerning America’s citizens whose loved ones were pulled into war. The peace activists started off as a small group during anti-war movements on college campuses, later attracting more and more military families to make their voice heard by 1965. The hippies were always against war, claiming it was hurting us instead of helping the country and had affected the whole country.…

The movement co-occurred with social change for American women, black people and non-straight people.…
