The Invasion of Cambodia
While Woodstock is often associated with the antiwar movement, particularly in relation to the Vietnam War, it was primarily a music festival celebrating peace, love, and counterculture. The event, held in 1969, became a symbol of the 1960s counterculture, attracting a large audience of young people who opposed the war and sought social change. Although it was not explicitly organized as an antiwar protest, the festival's themes and the sentiments of many attendees reflected a broader antiwar ethos.
