Which was not a justification for the increase in U.S. involvement in Vietnam?

History
1 answer:
AleksAgata [21]3 years ago

The item in the list which was <u>NOT</u> a justification for increased US involvement in Vietnam:

<h2>To keep North Vietnam aligned with the United States.</h2>

Explanation:

North Vietnam never was aligned with the United States.  The US was aligned with and fought on behalf of South Vietnam.  North Vietnam was controlled by a communist government and was seeking to unify Vietnam under communist control.  

US foreign policy in those years was one focused on fighting communism.  Domino theory was a major idea in US thinking at the time.  Domino theory proposed that the spread of communism in Vietnam would result in other countries in the region falling like dominoes to the influence of communism.

The event that sparked a major increase of US involvement in Vietnam was the allegation of attacks on US naval ships in neutral waters in the Gulf of Tonkin.  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.  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 Lyndon 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.

In a paragraph of 3–5 sentences, summarize how Reagan changed the role of government and evaluate whether his policies benefited
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

(Im sorry it isnt 3-5 sentences! But just look over it and create a paragraph of your own with the information given.)

Nonetheless, Mr. Reagan's Presidency has altered the tone and texture of government by changing the focus of political debate from solving social problems to cutting budgets and restricting Federal activities. One important measure of his political effect is that mainstream Democrats have taken up his longstanding assault on Federal deficits. Another is that state and local politicians no longer look to Washington for new initiatives and funding.

In his inaugural address after taking the oath of office on January 20, Ronald Reagan called upon Americans to "begin an era of national renewal." In response to the serious problems facing the country, both foreign and domestic, he asserted his familiar campaign phrase: "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem." He hoped that America "will again be the exemplar of freedom and a beacon of hope for those who do not have freedom."

Arguably the first conservative U.S. president in over 50 years, Reagan advanced domestic policies that featured a lessening of federal government responsibility in solving social problems, reducing restrictions on business, and implementing tax cuts. Internationally, Reagan demonstrated a fierce opposition to the spread of communism throughout the world and a strong distrust of the Soviet Union, which in 1983 he labeled an "evil empire." He championed a rearmed and strong military and was especially supportive of the MX missile system and the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars") program.

describe the events that led up to the end of the cold war. how did the end of the cold war affect the united states' war in rol
TiliK225 [7]

possible things that contributed and led to the cold war would be the soviet union refusing to become part of the UN for a long time. Truman's dislike of Stalin. Stalin also felt that america and britain were delaying D-Day, causing more Soviet losses in a plot to weaken the Soviet army. Almost sixty times more Soviets died in the war than the Americans. There was american fear of communist attack. USSR's fear of the American's atomic bomb. USSR's dislike of capitalism, etc. the cold war affected the united states because the CW was the United States' preeminent international concern, directing all of the nation's major foreign policy decisions. The United States was guided generally by containment which was to keep communism from spreading, the containment applied to a world divided by the cold War, a struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union.
