Imagine you are an advisor for a sitting US president. You have just received word that three small boats appear to have attacke
d a US port. The president wants to retaliate, but you think more evidence is needed before US forces attack. What historical event could you reference to support your case best? A.
North Korean invasion of South Korea
The Gulf of Tonkin incident, that is also called " the USS Maddox incident", consisted of an international confrontation that eventually led the US to engage North Vietnam directly during the Vietnam War.
It supposedly involved either one or two different confrontations with North Vietnam and the United States within the region of the Gulf of Tonkin, hence the name of the incident. Originally, the American report blamed North Vietnam for the two incidents, but it didn't take too long before it became a very controversial topic since it was a widespread belief that at least one, and most likely both incidents were false.
I have to say B. The rest were concepts made in Greece, by Greek philosophers, politicians, or mathematicians. An example for an advancement in math is the Pythagorean Theorem. I hope this helps!
