QUESTION
What was the effect of the Tonkin Gulf Resolution?
The rapid escalation of American involvement.
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave Johnson a free hand to escalate American military involvement in Vietnam. It was basically a carte blanche because he did not need to declare war and so by-passed the need for Congressional approval for such a declaration.
