What was the effect of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution?

History

Answer: A major escalation of US military involvement in the Vietnam War.

Detail:

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a measure passed by US Congress that allowed the US President to make military actions, like increase troops, without formal declaration of war.  It led to huge escalation of US involvement in the Vietnam War. The resolution was passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin.  The key wording in the resolution said:

  • <em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>

That resolution served as a blank check for President Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war.  Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.

How did sir Robert Clive increase The power of the British in India
Alexxandr [17]

Answer: Robert Clive was not a very nice man. He was a British colonel who while working for the British East India Company, took back the city of Calcutta which had been lost after the BEIC had lost it, and then bribed  Mir Jafar, who was a military general who was later appointed Nawab of Bengal, to help get Bengal from Siraj. Clive really established the military and political supremacy of the East Idia company in Bengal-while making himself rich in the process.

If resources were unlimited and freely available, making choices would not be necessary. Every person could have as much as they wanted of any good or service. Economics, the science of choice, would be unnecessary.
