Imagine you are an adviser for a sitting US president.
You have just received word that three small boats appear to have attacked a US port. The president wants to retaliate, but you think more evidence is needed before US forces attack. What historical event could you reference to support your case best?
-North Korean invasion of South Korea
-Gulf of Tonkin incident
-attack on Pearl Harbor
-launching of Sputnik
-firing of General MacArthur
