AUSTIN YOU ONLY HAVE TO DO 1 PARAGRAPH NOT 2

The U.S. Realized they could not stop communism if they kept Ngo Dinh Diem. So the U.S. funded an overthrow of Ngo Dinh Diem. Only a few weeks after this President Kennedy was assassinated. The vice president Lyndon B. Johnson became president. Johnson approved the bombing of North Vietnam to try to get them to try to force them into agreeing with a treaty. This was called operation rolling thunder and it did not succeed. Eventually Johnson had to keep sending more and more troops to defend bases and key locations then we had full involvement in Vietnam.
