Question 15 • MS U.S. History - SS3307 B-IC

Which action did President Johnson take during the Vietnam War?

Answer
A
He increased financial aid to South Vietnam.
B
He decreased support for the South Vietnamese military.
C
He authorized the replacement of the president of South Vietnam.
D
He took over the South Vietnamese government to foster capitalism.

Explanation

President Johnson increased U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, including financial and military assistance to South Vietnam. He also sent U.S. combat troops to support the South Vietnamese government. The removal of South Vietnam’s president Ngo Dinh Diem occurred in 1963, before Johnson became president, so choice C does not describe an action he took.
