March Protest for America to leave vietnam.
This protest took place in London were approximately 10,000 demonstrated outside the US embassy. Police towards the end of the rally tied to stop them which caused an outbreak of violence resulting in property damage, and casualties.
- fifty taken to hospital
- 200 arrested
- Outraged by police brutality

October protest
This protest was then repeated in October were once again tensions began to rise outside the US embassy, and this time with approx 25,000 supporters the amount of police had to be raised significantly.
This may have been more effective than they first believed though because American troops left Vietnam in March 1973 only 5 years later.
