Johnson's purpose for involving the U.S. in Vietnam was to attempt to halt the spread of Communism. Communism was quickly spreading, from the then U.S.S.R., to China and showed NO signs of slowing in its popularity amongst Asian countries (especially the rural poorer countries) like Vietnam.

What were the consequences of Lyndon B Johnsons decision to increase the involvement of the US in Vietnam?
As a result of President Johnson's decision to increase US involvement in Vietnam, the war became more destructive, more people died on both sides, and the war became the most polarizing issue in American politics in the 1960's. This also set the stage for even greater involvement under President Nixon, and eventually, the long-delayed fall of Saigon, and the failure of the the American attempt to defeat the invasion by the north.
