D
Key Concept
Gulf of Tonkin Resolution
Explanation
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, passed in 1964, gave President Lyndon B. Johnson the authority to assist any Southeast Asian country whose government was considered to be jeopardized by "communist aggression". This allowed the president to deploy U.S. forces without an official declaration of war by Congress, significantly escalating the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War.
