We had been in Vietnam since Eisenhower and JFK had sent in advisors. The government policy was the containment of communism and Vietnam was part of that policy because it feared the the Chinese communist were spreading through Southeast Asia. Johnson was part of the containment thinking and when the Gulf of Tonkin incident happened it drew the US more directly into the war and he began to draft more and more men. Nixon expanded the war into Laos and before he was elected had stopped a peace treaty. It was to his advantage to have the war.
Gerald Ford replaced Richard Nixon after his resignation. Following the assassination of John F Kennedy, the Vice-President Lyndon Baines Johnson became President. Theodore Roosevelt replaced William McKinley after his assassination, Andrew Johnson replace Abraham Lincoln after his assassination and John Tyler replaced William Henry Harrison. Also, I believe, Harold Holt (the Australian prime-minister, one that went missing) had his vice-president take over.
I believe William McKinley was president during the Populist Movement.
I believe it was by the president at the time it was admitted into the union.
?? I believe it was President Dwight D. Eisenhower

He didn't
I believe that was Lyndon B. Johnson. America's involvement in Vietnam was limited until he became president. According to Wikipedia, "It was Johnson who began America's direct involvement in the ground war in Vietnam." See the Related Links below for more information.
President Johnson believed that the US could defeat north Vietnam because the US had won WWII with firepower, and the US had the most firepower on earth during the Vietnam War.
During the Cold War, many believed that limiting the spread of Communism was necessary for the security of the United States and its allies.
US Ambassadors did not believe Diem would accomplish US goals in Vietnam.

President Johnson believed in the domino theory. He feared a communist takeover in Southeast Asia if the United States left Vietnam. Any other outcome than victory would be an embarrassment.
