Fall of Vietnam

Question 6 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

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

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

Explanation

By 1969, the central demand of many opponents of the Vietnam War was that the United States withdraw its troops from South Vietnam. Ending demonstrations was not their goal, and investigating the My Lai Massacre was a specific concern rather than the movement’s main objective. An “honorable peace” that kept South Vietnam strong was more closely associated with supporters of continuing the war.
