The Start of the Vietnam War

Question 7 • MS U.S. History - SS3307 B-IC

How did the US escalate its own efforts to win the Vietnam War in the late 1960s?

Answer
A
It sought alliances with communist nations including China.
B
It established Selective Service draft of young men in the US.
C
It decreased support for South Vietnam to protect the US military.
D
It intervened in South Vietnam through continuing political resolutions.

Explanation

The United States escalated its war effort in part by drafting young men into military service through the Selective Service System. This expanded the number of troops available to fight in Vietnam. The other choices do not describe escalation: the US did not seek alliances with communist China to win the war, and it continued supporting South Vietnam rather than reducing that support.
