When did Johnson send fighting troops to Vietnam?
The easy and often repeated belief. US troops had been in RVN (Republic of South Vietnam) before Johnson (LBJ) was president; before his former boss JFK (Kennedy) was president. US servicemen were being killed in battle in South Vietnam long before LBJ took office in Washington. The Johnson administration commenced open war (via the Tonkin Gulf Resolution) with North Vietnam in August 1964. No other US president prior to LBJ conducted open hostilities with North Vietnam. Open hostilities=Open aerial bombing/bombing campaigns (Operation Rolling Thunder, etc.).
What famous people from the us were involved in the Vietnam War?
Presidents John F. Kennedy (JFK) and Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) were the driving force behind the Vietnam war.
What president was responsible for the escalation of the Vietnam war?
Of the five commander in chiefs (US presidents) involved with the Vietnam War only two used B52s to bomb North Vietnam & launched extensive bombing campaigns over the North: LBJ & Nixon. Nixon was by far the most aggressive "B52 man." It was his favorite weapon. While LBJ (Johnson) was far more cautious and took great pains to avoid hitting Haiphong Harbor & Hanoi. LBJ didn't want to involve Red China nor the USSR in Vietnam, hence his caution; apparently Nixon made some secret agreements with the USSR/Red China when he visited them in about 1972, because his Linebacker bombing campaigns commenced that year. They didn't call President Nixon "Tricky Dick" for nothing!
