Answer 1

Answer: Escalation of the United States involvement in the Vietnam War

Step-by-step explanation:

The ''Gulf of Tonkin'' incident was a claim by the U.S. Government under President L.B. Johnson that two U.S. Navy ships had been attacked by North Vietnamese forces.

He used this as a pretext to call for and justify an escalation of the U.S.' involvement in the Vietnam war as he believed that it would enable the U.S. fight against Communism in Vietnam to go much more effectively.
