         <description><![CDATA[<p>Battle of Dien Bien Phu was the climactic confrontation of the </p><p>First Indochina War between the French Union's French Far East Expeditionary </p><p>Corps and Viet Minh communist-nationalist revolutionaries. It was, from the</p><p>&nbsp;French view before the event, a set piece battle to draw out the Vietnamese</p><p>&nbsp;and destroy them with superior firepower. The battle occurred between</p><p>&nbsp;March and May 1954 and culminated in a comprehensive French defeat</p><p>&nbsp;that influenced negotiations over the future of Indochina at Geneva. </p><p>Military historian Martin Windrow wrote that Dien Bien Phu was "the</p><p>&nbsp;first time that a non-European colonial independence movement had</p><p>&nbsp;evolved through all the stages from guerrilla bands to a conventionally </p><p>organized and equipped army able to defeat a modern Western occupier in pitched battle.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (August 7, 1964) gave broad congressional approval for expansion of the Vietnam War. During the spring of 1964, military planners had developed a detailed design for major attacks on the North, but at that time President Lyndon B. Johnson and his advisers feared that the public would not support an expansion of the war. By summer, however, rebel forces had established control over nearly half of South Vietnam, and Senator Barry Goldwater, the Republican nominee for president, was criticizing the Johnson administration for not pursuing the war more aggressively.</p>]]></description>
