What was true about the gulf of Tonkin incident?

History
1 answer:
Mrac [35]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It was certainly convenient as a reason for expanding American involvement in the Vietnam War.

Explanation:

In 1964, the American government claimed that American naval ships had been attacked in territorial waters in the Gulf of Tonkin. The attacks were unprovoked.

President Jonson took these claims to Congress which subsequently passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. This, in effect, gave Johnson carte blanche to escalate US involvement in Vietnam without the restrictions of declaring war.

The Pentagon Papers, published in the 1970's subsequently proved that the claims, along with the rest of the information published by the American government justifying US involvement in Vietnam were falsehoods.

Answer:

Racial segregation in the United States Armed Forces, which has included separation of white and non-white American troops, quotas, restriction of people of colour troops to support roles, and outright bans on blacks and other people of colour serving in the military, has been a part of the military history of the United States since the American Revolution. Each branch of the Armed Forces has historically had different policies regarding racial segregation. Although Executive Order 9981 officially ended segregation in the Armed Forces in 1948, following World War II, some forms of racial segregation continued until after the Korean War. The US government complied with an Icelandic government request not to station black soldiers on the US base in Keflavík, Iceland until the 1970s and 1980s when black soldiers began to be stationed in Iceland.
