Domino Theory by Jorge Morenp

From the 1950's to the 1980's the Domino Theory was used to demonstrate how if one country were to fall to communism then more would ensue in the near future. The Domino Theory gave Americans a reason to support American soldiers to intervene with foreign affairs to help prevent the spread of communism during the Cold War. President Eisenhower was the president who put this theory in effect when he talked about the threat in Indochina on April 7, 1954. Even though the Domino Theory tried to validate the need for war on Southeast Asia the war on Vietnam had a very negative outcome which resulted in great opposition to thid idea with the American public.
