Question 10 • United States History

Which best describes the main goal of those who opposed the Vietnam War in 1969?

Answer
A
immediate withdrawal of US troops from South Vietnam
B
a thorough investigation of the 1968 My Lai Massacre
C
an honorable peace that would keep South Vietnam strong
D
the end of antiwar demonstrations in the United States

Explanation

In 1969, opponents of the Vietnam War generally wanted the United States to stop fighting and bring its troops home. Immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from South Vietnam best describes that goal. An “honorable peace” that preserved South Vietnam was more closely associated with the Nixon administration’s approach.
