It was August 7, 1964 when the Gulf of Tunkin Resolution passed by the US Congress right after the alleged attack on two US naval destroyers stationed off the coast of Vietnam. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution viably propelled America's full-scale inclusion in the Vietnam War. Though there is no formal declaration of war, this also gave President Johnson approval "to take all necessary steps, including the use of armed force, to assist any member or protocol state of the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty requesting assistance in defense of its freedom." This has been used by Johnson and Pres. Richard Nixon as a justification for escalated involvement in Indochina.

Drag and drop events in Indochina leading up to the Vietnam War. Put them in the correct order from the most distant past (at th

Alecsey [184]

The correct order of the events is:

1. France colonizes Indochina;

2. France fights communist forces in Indochina;

3. France and the United States support an unpopular government in South Vietnam;

4. Vietnamese communists declare independence.;

5. France recognizes an independent North Vietnam;

France managed to colonize Vietnam, as well as other parts of Indochina in a very well planned, and gradual, systematic taking over. After some time, the nations in Indochina, including Vietnam, started to rebel against the French, thus multiple battles occurred. The forces fighting for liberation of Vietnam were mostly with a communist ideology. The French, as well as the USA, were supporting an unpopular traditional leader of Vietnam, which didn't really helped their cause, apart from managing to extend their influence in part of Vietnam a bit longer. The communist where victorious though, and they managed to gain full control of North Vietnam. The French had no other option than recognizing North Vietnam, and avoid further troubles.
