A '''peace movement''' is a grassroots campaign or push for the establishment of world peace in general, or an end to some or all wars. Often, rather, it aims at getting one side in a war to withdraw or otherwise cease fighting (compare [[unilateral disarmament]]). In the United States, the peace movement of the 1960s called upon America to stop supporting its ally [[South Vietnam]] in the [[Vietnam War]]. The result was a US withdrawal in 1973, followed by the bloodiest 2 years of the war as [[North Vietnam]] continued its military operations, defeated the South; the new government executed, worked to death, or otherwise caused the death of over 1 million civilians (see [[Boat people]]).

There was also evidence to suggest the peace movement, alongside similar movements, had been orchestrated by the Soviet Union.[http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread755527/pg1]
