Cambodia

Explanation:

Despite appearing to be trying to de-escalate American involvement in Cambodia, both Nixon and Kissinger believed a military victory was still possible when they took office in 1969. The subsequent invasion of Cambodia, and its secret illegal bombing led to an increase in anti-war sentiment which reached a tragic and bloody climax at Kent State University when 4 students were shot dead by the National Guard.
