What was true about the gulf of Tonkin incident?

History
1 answer:
Mrac [35]3 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.

Why were prisoner of war camps located in Oklahoma? There was a need for laborers. It was far from the war front. There were sev
ozzi

The correct answer is A; There was a need for laborers.

Further Explanation:

During the war, the government had POW camps in the United States. They picked the spots by determining who needed labor since the men were gone to war. They also based their decision on how rural the area was for security purposes. They also wanted the POW's to be in a warm climate so that the costs for construction of the camps would be low.

The prisoners in Oklahoma worked in the fields and were actually paid. The pay was determined by the rank of the prisoner but it was between 10 and 80 cents per day. They were not given the money in cash but in coupons. They could use the coupons to buy themselves items they needed and even beer at the PX-store they had. The prisoners had orchestras, singing groups, and even bands to listen to after they had done their work. They played soccer and played games nightly. It was estimated that at one time there were 22,000 POW's in the state.
