The accident in the Tonkin Gulf when North Vietnamese forces attacked the U.S. vessels and caused two airplanes to crash was a good reason to start the conflict, as the troops of North Vietnam violated the Geneva Convention and attacked a foreign navy in the neutral international waters. The United States has to react on this accident, as it was the mater of international respect, but at the same time the presidents administration had to estimate the future consequences of the military strike back.

And Cuba as it considered them to be its partners. As the result it started to build its military defense system getting support from Cuba and Soviets. It was considered to be a threat to the security in the region that was guaranteed by the U.S.A. And the Organization of Eastern Caribbean states. As a result the U.S.A. started intervention of Island. More than eight thousand U.S. soldiers took part in the campaign, 19 died and 119 were wounded.
