Hello,
According to Biography.com- Peter the Great was a Russian czar in the late 17th century who is best known for his extensive reforms in an attempt to establish Russia as a great nation.
Having ruled jointly with his brother Ivan V from 1682, when Ivan died in 1696, Peter was officially declared Sovereign of all Russia.
Peter was a far-sighted and skillful diplomat who abolished Russia's archaic form of government and appointed a viable Senate, which regulated all branches of administration, as well as making, groundbreaking accomplishments in Russia's foreign policy.
Although he proved to be an effective leader, Peter was also known to be cruel and tyrannical. The high taxes that often accompanied his various reforms led to revolts among citizens, which were immediately suppressed by the imposing ruler.
He created a strong navy, reorganized his army according to Western standards, secularized schools, administered greater control over the reactionary Orthodox Church, and introduced new administrative and territorial divisions of the country.

The Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred in the Gulf of Tonkin off of the coast of North Vietnam.
The citizens were told the North Vietnamese communists violently attacked a US ship which was peacefully existing to aid South Vietnam. It was presented as a direct threat to the US and a means for war.
The ship was in North Vietnamese territory and was alone away from the rest of the US fleet in South Vietnam. The US was not peaceful as they were attacking the North and supplying the South putting them directly in the war.
Per the Constitution--war is to be asked for by the executive and approved by Congress with an official declaration of war. However, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave permission to Johnson to use war materials and practices without an official declaration of war. This prevented allies from entering the war but allowed the US to engage in war behavior under the executive orders.

He greatly underestimated the circumference of the earth and did not know about the existence of the continents of North and South America," since this was why when he landed in the New World he actually thought he had reached India. </span>
