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.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Protests in the US against the Vietnam War caused all of the following except the war to end after bombing Japan.

Explanation:

The war that ended after bombing Japan was World War II, not the Vietnam War. In fact, World War II ended after the Japanese surrender as a result of the nuclear bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bomb attacks were conducted by the United States Air Force in 1945. On August 6, the Japanese port city of Hiroshima was bombed and on August 9, the city of Nagasaki suffered the same situation. Shortly thereafter the Japanese Empire surrendered, ending World War II. The nuclear bomb attacks also led to the independence of the Asian countries that Japan had conquered during the war.  

At the end of 1945, approximately 250,000 people had died as a result of the attacks. Several hundred thousand victims are said to have been killed as a result of radiation sickness and cancer during the following years.
