During the Vietnam War, many protest movements opposed the war and the drafting of young men to fight in that war. One claim of the protesters was that the military had gone totally crazy, had gotten totally out of hand, and was simply fighting a war to fight a war. One of those protests occurred at Kent State University. The Army National Guard came to the university because of the protest. Suddenly, the solders of the National Guard shot their rifles at no one in particular. They killed some students walking to class. They did not shoot at protesters. They were not in any danger of being attacked. They simply shot their guns to shoot their guns. That action, more than any other, proved to a large number of people that the Vietnam War was pointless and the United States had no business being there. While it did not force the United States to get out of Viet Nam, it ended drafting young men into the military which accomplished the same thing.

Why did isolationism in the United state grow after the armistice of world war 1?
The war seemed unnecessary and Woodrow Wilson, although looked great and in a powerful position after entering/winning the war, failed to accomplish anything he wanted, which included his 14 points. Also, America had a major issue with immigrants that were mostly Catholic. Most traditionalist Americans pushed for the anti-immigration policies of 1917 and 1924. They felt that Catholic immigrants were not assimilating and destroying American culture. Their proof was urban culture in the 1920s.
