The Vietnam War from 1959 to 1975.
The Vietnam War divided Americans due to the different beliefs of the war's proponents and opponents. Many youth were vehemently opposed to the war and protested it openly. It was also the first war to be covered on TV, making the realities of war even easier for people to see.
Vietnam was known as the first television war because it was the first conflict extensively covered by television, bringing graphic images and reports of the battlefield directly into American homes. The media's ability to broadcast live footage and reports significantly influenced public perception and sentiment about the war, often contradicting official government narratives. This unprecedented access to the realities of warfare contributed to growing anti-war sentiment and protests in the United States. The visual impact of the war's brutality starkly contrasted with previous conflicts, reshaping the relationship between media, politics, and public opinion.
World War 2 had a significant effect on television. In the UK, television broadcasts were halted at the beginning of the war. The end of the war saw the start of television broadcasts once more in the UK. In the US, the first commercial broadcasts began in 1939 but flourished in the years after the war ended. The period from 1945 to 1950 saw the numbers of television viewers rise dramatically as the economy moved from a war focused one to the start of the great consumer revolution.
Television brought the war into your living room. Furthermore, television opened Americans' eyes to the Vietnam war's actual position. people were at home thinking that the U.S was going to win the war and t.v gave the u.s the actual facts and the occurences of the position of the u.s in the war.

Because it had alot of publicity, unlike most other wars, and tended to favour the Vietcong's perspective. It was also this level of publicity specifically in the Tet Offensive that caused most US citizens to criticise the war in Vietnam.
It is generally accepted that the US Civil War was the first major war covered by photographers. For the first time, people had photographic images of the death and destruction seen in war. The Mexican-American War was one of the first extensively covered in moving pictures, and the Vietnam War was one of the first broadcast daily into people's living rooms. The Gulf War (1991) was amongst the first war to be covered by a 24 hour news channel.
