The congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin to give LBJ any means of necessary to prevent further aggression of the NVA. It gave the president permission to escalate the war. (Whitehead 14)
It allowed him to make decisions even though they didn't declare war.

Describe the Tet Offensive of 1968 and how it affected Johnson’s Presidency.

# data[].attributes.body
The Tet Offensive is where Viet Cong and NVA soldiers attacked villages, airfields, military bases, and cities. They blew a hole in the U.S. Embassy, in Saigon. The U.S. and South Vietnamese would push back the attackers and they military tried holding Viet Cong and NVA soldiers for about a month. There was no uprising in the countryside. Many Viet Cong were killed. It was a complete failure for the communist, but people back in the U.S. would watch it on their televisions and it was a disaster. It affected Johnson’s Presidency in many ways. Since television became popular, everyone knew the latest information. Walter Cronkite reported about the Tet Offensive and since he was a notable journalist, people believed everything he said. He tells the nation that Johnson mislead America. Johnson reacts saying that since he lost Cronkite, he lost America. People believed Cronkite so Johnson’s public support of the way he handled the war dropped a lot. A while later he went on t.v. and said he would not seek re-election. (Whitehead, 16)

The ones who didn't want the war were known as "Doves"
Doves thought that the problem in Vietnam was a civil war. So they had a way less aggressive approach with reduced troops.

How did television impact people at home (in the U.S.) interpretation of the war?

# data[].attributes.body
By 1966, 93 percent of the homes had a television. Since television became more popular, most American's began to get their news from the t.v. than from any other source. As the Vietnam War dragged on, many American's used the t.v. to get their news. News programs showed death and battles, so then Americans felt as if they were there with them, fighting the battle. American's couldn't understand the war but with the help of t.v., it showed them military tactics and what the soldiers encountered. With people being able to experience what it was like through the t.v., they always knew what was going on. (McLaughlin 3)

The North Vietnamese attack a section of southern Vietnam after the US pulls out because they are left vulnerable without forces of the other countries.

It is a military strategy in which a nation attempts to win a war by wearing down the enemy to a point of collapse. In the Vietnam war the Vietnamese would attack the U.S. from under ground and behind them causing them to be weaker.

President Nixon ended the war by replacing the American Troops with Viet Cong's own troops. This was to give the country new life and something to fight for.

How did the people of South Vietnam react to the war and  US intervention? 

# data[].attributes.body
In 1955, with resources from the U.S. Military, Diem's security forces began to crack down upon the civilians who were Viet Mihn Sympathizers. They arrested approximately 100,000 people, and many of them were either tortured or executed.  By the time 1957 came around, the civilians of Viet Cong started to fight back and release attacks upon the government and military officials. By the time it was 1959 the South Vietnamese Militia became involved in fire fights.  1) http://www.history.com/topics/vietnam-war/vietnam-war-history (History Organization 5)
