The Tonkin Gulf Resolution, passed by the U.S. Congress in August 1964, authorized President Lyndon B. Johnson to take military action in Vietnam without a formal declaration of war. It was prompted by alleged attacks on U.S. naval vessels by North Vietnamese forces in the Gulf of Tonkin. This resolution significantly escalated U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, leading to increased troop deployments and military operations in the region. It is often criticized for its vague language and the questionable legitimacy of the events that prompted it.
