what was the major impact of the united states participation in the vietnam war on the american people

History
1 answer:
inna [77]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

You wouldn't have to ask the question if you lived in the United States during the Vietnam war. Nothing, no event since the civil war a century earlier, split the American people more than Vietnam.

Basically there were a number of things that it did.

1. Those fighting it were split about going over. Many college educated students would have enlisted immediately after Pearl Harbor in WWII. Those same class of people would not be persuaded that way during Vietnam

2. It gave rise to the civil rights movement. The colored didn't want to go to Vietnam, or not all of them. Those who were opposed, especially the colored, sympathized with organizations like the Black Panthers or the Peace movement headed by Martin Luther King.

3. It brought the war into American living rooms. I can still remember seeing the shooting of a Viet Cong prisoner. At the time, it was extremely graphic and if I may say so, very horrifying.

4. The white middle class was equally upset by Vietnam. There were rallies on the University campuses where the numbers were in the tens of thousands. My mother 79 at the time, insisted on going to one. She was not disappointed. The keynote speaker was Jane Fonda. The body count was just too high not to upset just about everyone.

5. Then there was Kent State. You would do well to look that up.

Si algo pasó en el año 2020 a.e.c, ¿cuántos años han pasado?
Katarina [22]

La respuesta correcta es C. 4040

Explicación:

En historia, existen dos grandes divisiones, la primera incluye los eventos que ocurrieron antes nacimiento de cristo o antes de la era común (a.e.c.) mientras que la segunda división incluye los eventos que han ocurrido durante la era común o después de Cristo (d.c.).

Además, los años de la era común se acompañan con las siglas e.c. (era común) o d.c. (después de Cristo) e incluyen desde al año 1 e.c. hasta nuestros tiempos (año 2020 e.c.). Por otra parte, los años de antes de la era común se acompañan de las siglas a.e.c. (antes de la era común) o a.c. (antes de Cristo) e incluyen desde el año 1  a.e.c hasta los inicios de la humanidad.

De acuerdo a esto si un evento occurrió en el año 2020 a.e.c. el número de años que han pasado desde dicho evento son 4040 debido a que del año 2020 a.e.c. al año 1 a.e.c. o el nacimiento de Cristo (año 0) hay 2020 años, y desde el año 1 e.c. hasta el año 2020 e.c. en nuestros tiempos hay otros 2020 años.
