How was the involvement of the US in Vietnam before Johnson became President in 196?

Before Lyndon B. Johnson became President in 1963, U.S. involvement in Vietnam primarily escalated during the Eisenhower administration. The U.S. supported the French colonial forces in their fight against the Viet Minh and later backed the anti-communist government of South Vietnam, led by Ngo Dinh Diem. This included financial aid, military advisors, and covert operations, laying the groundwork for deeper involvement. By the early 1960s, the U.S. had significantly increased its military presence, with over 16,000 advisors in Vietnam by the time Johnson took office.


How did the United states involvement in Vietnam begin?

The United States' involvement in Vietnam began in the late 1950s as part of its broader strategy to contain communism during the Cold War. Initially, the U.S. provided economic and military aid to the French colonial forces fighting against the Viet Minh, a communist-led nationalist group. After France's withdrawal in 1954, the U.S. supported the anti-communist government of South Vietnam, escalating its commitment with military advisors and support in the early 1960s. This involvement ultimately deepened, leading to full-scale military engagement following the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964.
