"In what ways did the United States lose the Vietnam War? Did the domino theory occur as a result?"
with the nation shocked and paralyzed by the Vietnam War, thousands of American youth showed their concern through campus rallies, antiwar demonstrations, and concerts for peace. many of the nation's youth were strongly opposed to the war taking place halfway across the world, in which their fathers, brothers, and husbands were dying. united in their antiwar sentiment, thousands of young people joined in their creation of the "counterculture." The Vietnam War had a profound effect on American society. It changed the way we viewed our government, the media, and our Constitutional rights. Because of this shift in perspective, the country was torn apart and yet still came together in new and different ways. The Vietnam War's contraversiality spurred a great many sources of protest, against our government's use of power, how far we could stretch the rights of free expression, and primarily against the violence of the war itself.
