Between 1965 and 1967, the number of U.S. troops in Vietnam increased significantly, rising from about 23,000 in early 1965 to over 500,000 by the end of 1967. This escalation was driven by the U.S. government’s strategy to combat the growing influence of communism in Southeast Asia and the belief that a larger military presence was necessary to support the South Vietnamese government against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces. The Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 also played a crucial role in prompting increased military involvement.
