1960's Berlin Wall Cuban Missile Crisis Vietnam War?

What wars were going on in the 60s?
The usual growing pains "brush wars" that 3rd world countries experienced. Vietnam was the only head-ache the US had to heavily deal with.
What two factors led to US involvement in the Vietnam War?
The U.S. was attempting to keep Communism from spilling over from North Vietnam to South Vietnam (one of the other posters referenced the "Domino Theory," which suggested that if one country became Communist, another could become Communist, and so on and so forth, like toppling dominoes). We first got involved in the 50s by providing relatively small amounts of economic and military aid to the French, who were involved in fighting in Vietnam before we were. When the French failed and a Communist government in North Vietnam arose, Eisenhower sent "advisors" to South Vietnam to train their military to resist the North's. In the 60s, JFK sent Green Berets/special operations forces clandestinely into Vietnam to train counterinsurgency forces there. By the time JFK was assassinated, we had over 10,000 advisors ("advisors" generally equals "special forces") in Vietnam, and over 100 Americans had already been killed. In 1964, the Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred in waters adjacent to North Vietnam, where an American warship and a North Vietnamese vessel exchanged gunfire. There was controversy as to who shot first, but it eventually led to a push for Congress to approve the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which allowed for further U.S. military escalation into Vietnam. There was no formal declaration of war, and military forces just kept getting incrementally larger and larger until their peak in the late 60s.

When was the last time America almost had a revolt or revolution I remember someone saying it was during the Vietnam war but I'm not sure?
The "turbulent" 60s. Remember the Beatles song: "Ya say ya wanna have a Revolution..." History has chosen both the 19th & 20th "60s" to be Americas worst times. 1. Two presidents shot in both 60s (Lincoln & Kennedy) 2. A divided nation in both 60s (Civil War & Vietnam) 3. Civil Rights movements in both 60s (Emancipation Proclamation (Civil War) & Martin Luther King (Vietnam War). 4. Draft riots in both 60s (Civil War & Vietnam) 5. And by a strange coincidence both assassinated presidents were replaced by a vice president named JOHNSON.
