Presentation transcript:

The Vietnam War Part 2: Increased U.S Involvement (1956-1968) What was John F. Kennedy’s stance on U.S. involvement in Vietnam? How did the Johnson Administration escalate American involvement

South= Ngo Dinh Diem (pro-West) JFK and Vietnam (1960-1963) Vietnam was divided @ the 17th Parallel North = Ho Chi Minh (communist) South= Ngo Dinh Diem (pro-West) Ngo Dinh Diem 1956= refused a nationwide election…feared that it would be “fixed” Ho Chi Minh and Vietcong = angry, start to arm themselves. CIVIL WAR Kennedy = sends 15,000 military advisors to train South Vietnamese army

JFK and Vietnam (1960-1963) Kennedy = Strategic Hamlets: troops armed villages where peasants were moved.

Ho Chi Minh Ngo Dinh Diem Whose team are we on? Ngo Dinh Diem

Ngo Dinh Diem = not a popular leader JFK and Vietnam (1960-1963) Ngo Dinh Diem = not a popular leader 1963 = He’s Catholic, he outlaws Buddhism

USA aids in the assassination of Diem JFK and Vietnam (1960-1963) Nov. 1, 1963 USA aids in the assassination of Diem Nov. 22, 1963 JFK is assassinated!

Johnson and Vietnam still part 2…we’re still getting more and more involved in the Vietnam conflict…

Biggest Decision for Johnson Do we go to Vietnam to contain Communism?? The Truman Doctrine (1947) = Containment Policy “I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.”

Johnson and Vietnam (1963-1968) 1963: Lyndon B. Johnson = President LBJ has to decide: Do we go to Vietnam? Or Withdraw Troops? Johnson decides to go to war = afraid it would look like U.S. gave up, “soft on communism” 1964 Re-Election Year!  Event U.S. Ship is attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin (truth? Propaganda?)

But, War was never Declared? 2.) Johnson and Vietnam Johnson and Vietnam (1963-1968) But, War was never Declared? Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (1964) Congress gave power of war to the President “take all necessary measures to repeal any armed attack” 1965: LBJ sends 50,000 combat troops Operation Rolling Thunder = bomb N. Vietnam 1968: 500,000 troops
