Does this meet the requirements of "What impact did the Cold War and the Vietnam War have on the people of Washington?(4 points)"

The Vietnam War and Cold War drastically effected the people of Washington. The Cold War was created when the U.S. and Soviet Union entered an arms race, stockpiling weapons and expanding their bases, as the race went on, the U.S. became more sensitive to areas of interest. The Vietnam War was started in the 1960's when the Soviet Union took a point of interest for the U.S, south Asia, and threatened the U.S. with communism, pulling the U.S. into another war. Things slowly began to escalate to the point of the U.S. drafting men into the war. As the war continued in 1970, people began to fear being drafted in, and decided to protest against the drafts and demanded an anti-war movement. As the protests began to grow, in 1972, the U.S. was forced to withdraw its forces, and left the war. The war impacted Washingtons economy and population, as many civilians that were drafted were killed and injured or fled to neighboring areas.

This response partially meets the requirements of explaining the impact of the Cold War and Vietnam War on the people of Washington. It mentions the escalation of the arms race during the Cold War and the fear of being drafted during the Vietnam War, as well as the protests against the draft. However, it does not provide specific details on how these events directly impacted the economy and population of Washington. It would benefit from including more information on how the wars affected the daily lives, livelihoods, and overall well-being of the people in Washington.
