1) What reasons did President Johnson have for wanting to escalate the war in Vietnam?
2) What actually happened in the Gulf of Tonkin? What did President Johnson say happened? Why
did he misrepresent the information?
3) Why did President Johnson decide to start combat operations with a bombing campaign? What
