what event prompted the united states to increase its military involvement in vietnam? A the signing of the geneva records

Answer: The Gulf of Tonkin Incident in 1964

Explanation:

The Vietnam War was a conflict between North Vietnam and South Vietnam from 1959 to 1975. This conflict was motivated by ideological issues and relied on the intense involvement of the US military from 1965 to 1973. Shortly after the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy, the United States started a new attitude in the conflict. With Kennedy's death, the deputy, Lyndon Johnson, held the presidency of the United States and, during his rule, the country began to act directly in the conflict with the sending of troops. The Americans entered the conflict after the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. In that incident, the USS Maddox was allegedly attacked twice by North Vietnamese torpedo boats (the second attack has never been proven). This was used as a pretext by Lyndon Johnson to authorize the attack on North Vietnam and the deployment of troops.
