1) Gulf of Tonkin Resolution: B2) War Powers Act: C3) Vietnamization: AThe answer to the second part of the question is not present.
Explanation
The first part of this question draws upon your knowledge of United States history, specifically overt U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War that occurred from 1965 to 1973. Here, the question involves understanding the cause and effect sequencing between several important historical incidents and policies such as the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, the War Powers Act, and Vietnamization. - The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, passed in 1964 after questionable incidents involving U.S. navy ships and Vietnamese forces in the Gulf of Tonkin, allowed the president to escalate U.S. involvement in Vietnam without a formal declaration of war from the Congress hence leading to (B) "Escalation of US troops in Vietnam".- Vietnamization is a policy that was implemented during the presidency of Richard Nixon. The goal was to shift the burden of the war to South Vietnam and allow for U.S. troops to come home. This would have caused (A)"US withdrawal of forces eventually leading to fall of Saigon"- The War Powers Act was a legislative measure passed in 1973 with the goal to check the president's power to commit the United States to an armed conflict without the consent of the U.S. Congress hence led to(C)"limited the power of the executive branch to send troops into combat" About the second part of the question, it is made on the basis on post-WWII migratory patterns within the United States, typically citing the decline of the heavily industrialized 'Rust Belt' and subsequent migration towards the South and the West Coasts.
