∙ 14y agoThe most significant battle will have to be the naval battle between the NVN (North Viet Navy) P4 Motor Torpedo Boats, and the destroyer USS Maddox, along with several F-8 Crusader jets in the Gulf of Tonkin on 02 August 1964.
This naval battle sets up the next one on 04 August '64 between the destroyer USS Turner Joy, more US jets, and possibly some NVN P6 Torpedo Boats. The P6 boats may have been trying to recover the damaged P4 Torpedo Boats from the earlier sea battle. They may have been mistaken for another attack on US destroyers. The Turner Joy did fire her batteries, radar controlled...did the P6 boats initiate Turner Joy's radar? Did the action regress to disappearing Torpedo Boats, leaving the Turner Joy to fire at ghosts created by misleading radar input?
Whatever the case, it was the 04th action that resulted in the Tonkin Gulf Resolution and an escalation of the Vietnam War.

How was the vietnam war different from the korean war?
The Vietnam War ended in a decisive communist victory, while the Korean War did not. ( apex )
What did the escalation policy entail during the Vietnam war?
The term "escalation" is the accepted historically accurate term. But what really happened was the shifting of a "guerrilla" war in South Vietnam (RVN=Republic of South Vietnam) to a "conventional" war in South Vietnam AND open warfare against North Vietnam on or after the Tonkin Gulf sea battles (called incidents) on 02 & 04 August 1964. Vietnam was so touchy, that special terms had to be applied by the US administration, some examples follow: 1. The two sea battles in August 1964 were called "incidents." 2. The invasion of Cambodia on 01 May 1970 was called an "incursion." 3. Vietnam War is sometimes called "Vietnam Conflict"; which would also make the US Civil War a "Conflict" since it was not a declared war either.

Today there is a Vietnam. But there wasn't a Vietnam during the war; there were TWO Vietnams. A North & a South. Which "Vietnam" won battles? 1. The first tank clash between North & South Viet tanks (called armor) were during Operation Lam Son 719, in 1971. A massive campaign that some historians believe was a Northern victory. It was also the US Army's final major offensive of the war. 2. Then invasion of Cambodian in May of 1970, by US & Southern troops is considered by many to be an allied victory...this campaign lasted about 60 days. 3. The North's final push into South Vietnam with a conventional tank/infantry attack on 30 April 1975, was an obvious victory...they won the war.
