What were the sooial and political outcomes of the end of the Vietnam War? 1. Political Outcomes: 2. Social Outcomes:

The first political outcome of the war was that Lyndon
Johnson did not try to run for president in 1968.  More long lasting effects of the war
include the fact that people trust the government much less than they used to.  This
comes in part from the feeling that the government did not tell the truth about the
war.

Socially, I think the war helped to lead to our
"culture wars" that we have today.  The people who supported the war saw themselves as
the real Americans whose values were under attack by the long-haired, anti-American
protestors.  This has helped lead to the conflict between traditional and
non-traditional people today.
