L2 1967 - Anti Vietnam War Peace March

YouTube - 1967 - Anti Vietnam War Peace March

Towards the end of the nineteen sixties, the Vietnam war was the biggest political question in America, but also in Britain, where the Labour government support for the USA was highly controversial. Britain did not send troops to Vietnam (and this is very significant), but provided essential political support internationally. This youtube video shows some of the atmosphere in the US demonstrations. Similar if smaller demonstrations were taking place in London, Rome and elsewhere.

NB Youtube videos will not play on the university network.
