Answer

Brief Explanations:

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was passed after an alleged attack on US Navy ships by North Vietnam in the Gulf of Tonkin. This incident was used as a pretext for increased US military involvement in Vietnam. The assassination of President Kennedy was a separate event. The US declaration of war against North Vietnam did not occur in the traditional sense, and the draft was a later - stage aspect of the war effort, not the cause of the resolution.

Answer:

An alleged attack on US Navy ships by North Vietnam
