4. Choose two events that you think were critical in getting the U.S. involved in a war in Vietnam. Explain your choice.
i think two events that really brought the US into the Vietnam War are when the Vietcong were formed and when we were attacked by the Vietnamese in the Gulf of Tonkin. i think this because when the Vietcong were formed JFK sent in "advisors' to aide in restablishing the government "peacefully". when 11,500 "advisors wasn't enough he sent more till soon the numbered at about 23,300. this was a first step into bringing us into the war because in my opinion we didn't need to stick our noses into what was going on there. they at that time were not a threat to us. the second thing that brought us into the Vietnam War was the Gulf of Tonkin incident. i believe this happened because having US troops staying in Vietnam and trying to "advise" the government really ticked them off. so when they attacked us it brought us into the already brewing war.
