Anti-war Protests in Australia
Like in the United States, Australia had not many anti-war protestors against the Vietnam War in the beginning of war. However with the increase of Australian soldiers participating in the Vietnam war as well as the constant release of explicit photos revealing the atrocities of the US soldiers are committing, more Australians started to protest against the Vietnam War.
Most images were delievered to the Australians through television. Almost immediately, the Australians were exposed to the atrocities that occurred, thus thousands of Australians were horrified and started to turn against to the Australian and American involvment in the Vietnam War. By 1970, the anti war sentiment had rapidly grown into huge marches, church services, protests on streets with candlelights etc.

Anti-war protests in Britian
Alongside other countries, Britian were also shocked by the atrocities committed by the US troops. There were huge protests such as a march that occurred on the 27th October 1968 which was to stop US troops committing horrifying atrocities in Vietnam. An estimate of 25,000 protestors marched to the US embassy in Grosevenor Square. The protests was harsh with 1,000 police outside the embassy however, regardless of the police the peace makers protested strongly and fought for the anti-war movement.
