President Lyndon B. Johnson escalated America's involvement in Vietnam primarily through the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in August 1964, which allowed him to increase military presence without a formal declaration of war. Following reports of alleged attacks on U.S. naval vessels, he authorized the bombing of North Vietnam and significantly increased the number of American troops deployed to the region. This marked the transition from advisory support to active combat, culminating in a substantial military commitment that would define U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.
