In August, 1964, President Johnson reported to the nation that American ships had been attacked by North Vietnam gunboats in the Gulf of Tonkin, in international waters. The Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution giving the President the power to use whatever force necessary to protect our interests in the area. At the time, the truth was not reported. In February, 1965, the Viet Cong attacked an American military base near Pleiku. Using the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, President Johnson sent in 3,500 Marines, the first official troops, to South Vietnam. By the end of the year, there were 200,000 US troops in Vietnam.

Not really. The Gulf of Tonkin is a body of water off the Vietnamese coast. American naval forces operating in the Gulf in 1964 claimed to have come under attack from communist Vietnamese patrol craft, although the truth of what happened remains in much dispute. At the time, the US used the incident as justification to increase its involvement against communist forces in Vietnam, which eventually turned into a huge deployment of US military forces.
