Did the Vietnamese attack the Gulf of Tonkin during Vietnam war?
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.
What stopped the Vietnam war?
Both the US peoples and the US congress had lost all support for US involvement in the war, When President Nixon was elected he was keen to end the war but he wanted 'peace with honour' so he decided to pull troops out gradually and increase bombing raids on the North and Cambodia distract attention. This was known as 'Vietnamisation'. A cease fire was called in 1972, this caused nearly all American involvement to end. The war then offically ended in 1975 with the fall of saigon to communism, this was followed by the fall of the whole south, reunification was acheived by force. Laos and Cambodia also fell to communism shortly after.
