Where did Greenpeace come from?

This may well be a question some will ask in the future.  I was around and a teenager of thirteen years old when Greenpeace first protested the Nuclear testing in the oceans.  I do remember this but I really didn't know the history.  Greenpeace was founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1971.  It was formerly known as "The don't make a Wave Foundation"
