Answer: Alleged attack on US Navy ships by  North Vietnamese torpedo boats.

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 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.

An alleged attack on two US Navy ships by North Vietnamese torpedo boats.

Further Explanation:

<u>The Gulf of Tonkin resolution was passed by the President of the United States, Lyndon Johnson after an attack took place on two destroyers of the United States navy that were doing their military duties in the coast of Vietnam. </u>This resolution gave authority to the military forces of the United States to take full-fledged participation in the Vietnam war. Vietnam war was going on around from last many years but this resolution formally granted involvement of the US army in this war. The goal of this resolution was to end the spread of communism in that area. This resolution got full backing from the US house of representatives and only two members opposed this resolution in the Senate.  

This war was though unpopular among many people in the United States and soon there were protests all over the US to take this resolution back. <u>In the year 2005, there were classified documents that were made public which suggested the theory that the Involvement of the United States in the Vietnam war may have been made up to some extent. </u>
