Question
As a result of the My Lai Massacre and Kent St. shootings........Group of answer choicesthe US won the warpeople turned even more against the warpeople were ready to crush N. Vietnampeople saw death for the first time on TV
Solution
The correct answer is: people turned even more against the war.
Here's why:
-
The My Lai Massacre and the Kent State shootings were two significant events during the Vietnam War that greatly influenced public opinion in the United States.
-
The My Lai Massacre, which took place in March 1968, involved US soldiers killing hundreds of unarmed Vietnamese civilians. When news of the massacre broke, it caused widespread outrage and increased opposition to the war.
-
The Kent State shootings occurred in May 1970 when the Ohio National Guard fired on a crowd of students protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University, killing four and wounding nine. This event further fueled anti-war sentiments.
-
Therefore, these events did not lead to the US winning the war, nor did they make people ready to crush North Vietnam. While it's true that the Vietnam War was the first war to be extensively televised, the statement "people saw death for the first time on TV" is too broad and doesn't directly relate to the impact of the My Lai Massacre and Kent State shootings.
-
So, the most accurate answer is that these events led to people turning even more against the war.
