The "Peace Movements" were down played anti-war protests designed to prevent the police from using batans while making arrests. It was akin to the "sit-in's". Protesters had to be carried by the police as they sat in their sitting positions; the whole time chanting, "don't resist, don't resist", and "we're not resisting, we're not resisting", again, to avoid the popular at the time TERM, "...police brutality."

Why was the Vietnam war so important to the US?

After the war was over, it became the first real loss for the United States despite excellent military performance and almost 100% tactical victory. It also helped take the wind out of the Hippy/Peace Movement, which makes sense as it was largely started to counter the war in Vietnam and helped to bring Americans closer together by removing one of the great obstacle which had divided them. It also ushered in a new era of American caution with regards to the deployment of US military forces, which America did not overcome until after several successful campaigns, in particular the First Persian Gulf War. For Vietnam, it finally meant unity for an independent Vietnam, even if it was under a brutal communist dictatorship. Many people who had resisted the North were sent to "reeducation" camps and were brutally tortured, brainwashed, and sometimes killed; however, Vietnam has been moving forward ever since the war's end in its development, albeit slowly. Now Vietnam is actually trying to engage the US again, but this time as an economic partner instead of a military enemy. In terms of the war against communism, Vietnam was an indecisive battle. Communism had not been prevented from overtaking Vietnam, but the Vietnamese were so exhausted by almost 30 years of neverending conflict that any Vietnamese Communist ambitions in the rest of Southeastern Asia--if there were any--had to be shelved. While Vietnam did serve as a blight on the US's record for some time, the Soviets eventually had their own Vietnam-like catastrophe in Afghanistan. Like the US, the Soviets dominated tactically, but strategically were unable to accomplish their goals of supporting the actually fairly weak Communist Party in Afghanistan. Both wars combined demonstrated to the world that direct military involvement is not always a feasible solution. Because the US used the military strategy of fighting a "limited" war, it lost. Heavy casualties over many years caused President Nixon to agree to peace talks.

How did the Paris peace accords affect tghe vietcong?

The Paris Peace Accords, signed in January 1973, aimed to establish peace in Vietnam and end U.S. military involvement. For the Vietcong, the accords legitimized their status as a political force in Vietnam, as they were recognized as a key participant in the negotiations. However, despite the agreement, fighting continued between North and South Vietnam, ultimately leading to the Vietcong's increased influence in the south as they capitalized on the weakened South Vietnamese government. The accords ultimately failed to bring lasting peace, allowing the Vietcong to play a significant role in the eventual fall of Saigon in 1975.
