The Vietnam War faced mass opposition for several reasons inlcuding:

1) Unfair draft practices- Many citizens who were affluent and had connections were able to avoid being drafted by the US military. This resulted in a majority of the soldiers being individuals from lower-middle class socioeconomic groups. Many citizens felt that this was unfair, an dubbed Vietnam a rich man's fought that happened to be fought by the poor.

2) Monetary cost- The Vietnam War cost America billions of dollars over the course of the 2 decades of their involvement in trying to keep South Vietnam out of the control of the Soviet Union/communism.

3) Casualties- The US military suffered over 50,000 deaths due to this war. Americans felt that this was unacceptable.

A(n) blank is when one country increases its army because others did
marishachu [46]

An arms race is when one country increases its army because others did.

An arms race is a competition between two or more states to have the best armed forces. It is done by means of competitive acquisition of military material, military spending or the number of  people who serve in the army.

There is always a competitive nature to this buildup, hence the name race.

Some examples of an arms race are :

- The naval arms race between Germany and Britain from 1897 to 1914. It involved the costly building competition of Dreadnought - ships.

- The Cold War nuclear race between the United States and the Soviet Union. It led to large spending on nuclear missiles and the stockpiling of vast nuclear arsenals.

Hope This Helps!    Have A Nice Day!!
