Answer:  The Gulf of Tonkin resolution authorized President Johnson to deal with threats in Southeast Asia as he saw fit.

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 Gulf of Tonkin 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.

List the ways that technology and social media have changed after WWII.
AVprozaik [17]

Technology after WWll advanced greatly due to entering the atomic age. Following the bombings on Hiroshima and nagasaki, the U.S. entered the war in Vietnam where we used napalm bombs to burn down the forest because we found out that the Vietnamese were hiding in the trees. Then a couple years later the Cold War started and the U.S. built a huge amount of nuclear weapons at the same time that the Soviet Union was building nuclear weapons luckily we didn’t break out into war but there were a couple of times where we almost did. Now social media changed after WWll by creating even more political cartoons describing everything that’s happening in a single comic strip. Nowadays the whole world makes memes about previous and current wars that had happened or are happening right now.
