In April of 1970, President Richard Nixon went on national television to announce the U.S. invasion of Cambodia and need to draft 150,000 soldiers in order to expand the Vietnam War effort. His announcement provoked protests on campuses throughout the United States, including Kent State University in Ohio. Protesters launched a huge demonstration that included setting fire to the ROTC building. The protest prompted the Ohio governor to dispatch 900 national guards to campus. During the protest, an altercation took place and 28 guardsmen opened fire on a crowd of students, killing four and wounding nine.
