What did president Johnson do to escalate America's involvement in Vietnam?
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.
What happened to the number of US troops from 1961-1967?

In 1961, there were approximately 1,500 military advisors, but by 1967, this number had surged to around 500,000 troops. This escalation was driven by the belief that a stronger military presence was necessary to combat the growing influence of communism in Southeast Asia. The increase reflected a broader commitment to support the South Vietnamese government against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces.
