Answer 1

President Johnson’s foreign policy was centered on containing communism in Southeast Asia.

After beginning his presidency, Johnson’s foreign affairs were focused on the Cold War and, especially on the Vietnam War. He was mainly committed to the Containment strategy, which was aimed to prevent the spread of communism, primarily in Southeast Asia. For this reason, Johnson increased enormously the presence of American troops in Vietnam, leading the US to a full commitment in the Vietnam War.
