In what year did the nationwide Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam take place?

• A. 1968
• B. 1969
• C. 1970
• D. 1971

Answer: (B)

The nationwide Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam happened in 1969. It was a coordinated, day-long protest across the United States on October 15, 1969, organized by student groups, religious organizations, and labor unions to pause the war and push for negotiations. This mass demonstration marked a major turning point in the antiwar movement, showing how broad and organized opposition had become. 1968 saw intense public activity around the Tet Offensive and other events, but not the nationwide Moratorium. Protests continued in the following years, but the large, coordinated moratorium is specifically tied to 1969.
