The Vietnam War
Is History a History of Progress?
This is an image of the Kent State Massacre during the time of the Vietnam war. In the photo there are National Guardsmen all armed around innocent citizens trying to protest in what they believe is right. The Vietnam War is illustrated in this picture because it shows the effects that the war has had at home. Not only are there soldiers overseas fighting, there are soldiers in the lives of Americans at home! Relating this picture to the Vietnam War, the outbreak at the University in Ohio was caused when Richard Nixon announced that 150,000 more soldiers were going to be needed in the Vietnam War. The students started protesting their anti-war beliefs and the National Guardsmen came over and killed four students and wounded eight. This image shows how the lives of Americans have been impacted from the Vietnam War.
