What was the great society and foreign policy?

The Great Society was a set of domestic programs launched by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1960s aimed at eliminating poverty and racial injustice in the United States. It included initiatives like Medicare, Medicaid, and various civil rights legislations. In terms of foreign policy, Johnson's administration was heavily involved in the Vietnam War, aiming to prevent the spread of communism in Southeast Asia, which ultimately became a contentious and divisive issue at home. The interplay between the ambitious social reforms of the Great Society and the challenges of foreign policy, particularly Vietnam, defined Johnson's presidency.
