"WE DON'T WANT YOUR 'PEACE' ..." 1: The West German Antiwar Movement, Youth Protest, and the Peace Movement at the Beginning of the 1980s

This article examines the changes in social movements, in particular the peace movement since the late 1970s, their processes of differentiation as well as their connections to older aspects of the movements. Of particular interest is the breadth of the peace movement, which succeeded in mobilizing several hundred thousand persons at the beginning of the 1980s. How points of conflict developed between this movement and an antiwar movement led by a "new youth movement" around 1980 is the focus of this article.
