What was jfks approach to Vietnam?

John F. Kennedy's approach to Vietnam was characterized by a focus on increasing military and economic support for the South Vietnamese government to combat the growing influence of communism. He escalated the U.S. involvement by sending military advisors and equipment, emphasizing a counterinsurgency strategy. Kennedy believed in the importance of containing communism, which led to a commitment to support South Vietnam without direct military intervention at that time. However, his administration laid the groundwork for deeper involvement that would escalate in the following years.
