of South Vietnam, North Vietnam,
and South Vietnamese ally, the
United States. There was also a
group called the Viet Minh which

Japanese leave Vietnam. Some
people opposed to the idea of
war, so instead they encouraged
the government into getting what
they wanted under protests. The
types of protests that occurred

College students held many antiprotests, while U.S was bombed
by North Vietnam for siding with
the South. There was an
estimated number of 800,000
protesters in Washington DC

people died and even more
wounded during this revolution
