What was the result of the gulf of tonkin incident apex?

The Gulf of Tonkin Incident was a false flag operation organized by the secret services of the United States, to be used as a pretext in their participation in the Vietnam War; this simulated a false attack by North Vietnamese forces against United States Navy ships in Southeast Asia, which had penetrated waters that the United States claimed as international, but which Vietnam claimed as nationals. Videos were presented as evidence of such attacks and this served as a pretext for President Lyndon B. Johnson to ask Congress for a large extension of military missions carried out by soldiers assigned as military advisers in Vietnam, and with it, the beginning of the massive intervention of the United States in that war, going from 60,000 soldiers that were already operating in Vietnam to 500,000 at the moments of greatest intensity of the conflict.

Declassified documents show that indeed the incident never happened and that the US intelligence falsified data to justify the subsequent intervention.

i believe the answer is:

-   william jennings bryan is a democrat while mckinley was a republican

at that time, the segment of population that choose for democratic party were the voters with low economic background and vice versa

- william jennings has support of populists and wants to have inflation to farmers while mckinley has support of bankers and businessmen , doesn't want inflation

the fixed value of gold make the large business able to stack up their gold without   being worried that it would devaluated.

- william jennings supported the silver standard while mckinley supported the gold standard

according to jenning, using other metal beside gold could the poor people to have more purchasing power and them advance in the society.

i believe it would be capitalism
