The gulf of tonkin gave the President of the United States (Lyndon B. Johnson) the right to use any military force that was deemed conventional without the declaration of war by Congress in Southeast Asia and to assist any army, whether legitimate or not. This started the rapid escalation from the Americans in the Vietnam War and their rapid warfare against North Vietnam.

Because it was a Muslim Empire bet on Conquest of all non-Muslim lands (especially Christian Europe), it was hostile to trade and/or exploration by Christian Kingdoms and/or principalities. Before the Ottomans, Europe used the Silk Road and the Spice Trade Routes that went through the lands that were later conquered by the Ottomans (Asia Minor) who then blocked all trade and exploration ventures into Asia and/or the Middle East.
This forced European powers to seek alternate routes for commerce and exploration in Asia. The Portuguese were the first, they circumnavigated and explored the African coastline all the way to the southernmost part of Africa and finally made it to India. This allowed them to renew and control the lucrative Spice Trade and further map the unknown world. Spain was engaged in a hegemonic strife with Portugal and thanks to Christopher Columbus, who was seeking an alternate; shorter route to India sailed through the Atlantic and discovered the New World.
Correct answer:
<h2>U.S. troops withdrew and North Vietnamese troops successfully invaded South Vietnam.</h2>
Explanation:
US President Richard Nixon had instituted a policy of "Vietnamization" in regard to the Vietnam War, which emphasized that the United States needed to empower South Vietnamese forces to assume more combat duties. He proposed drawing down US involvement in the war and seeking "peace with honor," as he put it. By the time that President Nixon and US policy shifted to this sort of approach, it was too late to stave off the victory of the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces. The US eventually withdrew its forces from Vietnam in 1973. By 1975, Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, fell to the North Vietnamese communist forces. South Vietnam unconditionally surrendered to North Vietnam on April 30, 1975.
