The Vietnam War had a profound impact on U.S. domestic policy, leading to widespread social and political upheaval. The conflict fueled anti-war movements, particularly among younger generations, who protested against U.S. involvement and the high human costs of the war. Disillusionment with the government grew, spurring a demand for transparency and accountability. The war also catalyzed changes in foreign policy, contributing to the War Powers Act, which sought to limit presidential authority in military engagements. Furthermore, it influenced civil rights activism and discussions around social justice, as differing perspectives on the war highlighted issues of inequality and civil liberties.
