Sub - Question 1

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (1964) was a key document that President Johnson used to justify military actions in Vietnam without a formal declaration of war from Congress.

The 1968 Tet Offensive was a major military campaign where North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces launched surprise attacks on many sites in South Vietnam. After this offensive, the sustained bombing campaign against North Vietnam and Laos ended.

Guerrilla warfare is a type of warfare where small groups of soldiers conduct surprise attacks, which is relevant to the Vietnam War context.
