Gulf of Tonkin 1964. The incident in the Gulf of Tonkin led to Americaâs open entry into the Vietnam War. The Gulf of Tonkin is off the coast of what was North Vietnam. President Lyndon Johnson received different advice from his military advisors on how any possible war with the North Vietnamese might be fought.
Yet 40 years after the incident, evidence now available reveals that the Johnson administration may have misled the public and Congress about the nature of the Tonkin incident. The details of the debate around the Tonkin Gulf Resolution reveal that some of the senators accepted Cold War theories of the domino effect and containment, which may have limited their ability to consider a range of responses to the incident.
