The events of 1968 show deep divisions regarding Americans' views on politics. Many Americans wanted to maintain peace during the 1960s and opposed wars. As the Vietnam issue came up, America decided to interfere based on the Dinamo effect and to protect other Asian countries from converting into communism. There was a division based on ideas in America as some opposed against it while others supported it (the government). Often violence and marches were held by students on campuses and in Washington to show their protest against the government decision.
