Best Answer

The main similarity is the offer of "help" by the two doctrines to a 'threatened' country by the US and the USSR respectively. The other is, that both doctrines were aimed at countering threats from 'the other' ideology and protecting both countries' own sphere of influence.

The differences are:

- The Eisenhower Doctrine (ED) offers help to countries threatened by other countries, the Brezhnev doctrine (BD) offers help to countries threatened by 'anti-socialist forces' even if these are within that country

- The ED offers economic or military help, the BD offers only military help

- the ED puts only itself on the line economically or militarily, the BD states that intervening is a matter of 'all socialist countries'

- The ED offered help "on request" only, the BD offered help even if not requested by a local government

- Both doctrines aimed at protecting their own sphere of political influence, but the ED also was formulated to protect the West's oil interests in the Middle East. The BD had no prominent economic background.
