How did U.S. Involvement in Vietnam change during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations?
During the Kennedy administration, U.S. involvement in Vietnam initially focused on providing military aid and advisors to support the South Vietnamese government against the communist insurgency. As the conflict escalated, Kennedy authorized an increase in U.S. military personnel, but he remained cautious about direct military engagement. In contrast, under President Johnson, U.S. involvement intensified dramatically following the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964, leading to the deployment of combat troops and a significant escalation of airstrikes, marking a shift from advisory support to full-scale military intervention. This change reflected a broader commitment to combat communism in Southeast Asia, resulting in a more extensive and controversial U.S. military presence.
