Year of Protest


1968 looked like a worldwide political revolution to the people that had lived through it. There was a really big number of unrelated protests that happened in some European and U.S. Cities in 1967. After this, there was an increased enthusiasm for democracy and challenged many other countries around the world. This is because the world wanted change after the war, where over 20,000 Americans died in. Many Vietnamese soldiers and civilians also died in this war, and because of this, many people were upset. Some people that were upset were some American people, students in Berlin, and Germany, who had sponsored the Vietnamese. In the United States, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. This caused many students to protest the violence that was occurring in their own countries. 

What had started the protesting begin?


How had this year effected the years to come?
