Explanation:

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a joint resolution of the Congress, adopted in 1964 and which became the legal basis for the escalation of US participation in the Vietnam War.

After two incidents in the Gulf of Tonkin, in which, according to the administration of President Johnson, American ships were attacked by North Vietnamese boats in international waters, the U.S. Congress on August 7, 1964 adopted a joint resolution that gave President Johnson the right to take all necessary measures, including the use of the armed forces, to preserve the freedom of all countries included in SEATO. This resolution became the legal basis for sending large American units to South Vietnam and launching bombing of North Vietnam without a formal declaration of war.
