The decision for the United States to become involved in Vietnam was influenced by various political leaders and advisors, primarily during the administrations of Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. They believed that stopping the spread of communism in Southeast Asia was crucial, guided by the "domino theory," which suggested that if one country fell to communism, others would follow. This led to increased military support and eventual deployment of U.S. troops in Vietnam. Ultimately, it was a complex interplay of geopolitical strategy and domestic political pressures that drove American involvement.
