Domino Theory
It's a chain reaction. Well, sort of. It's when failure of some event pulls failure of the next event, and the latter pulls the next one. Until the hole system or structure collapse. And there is no way to stop or reverse the Domino Principle situation. God bless.
If South Vietnam fell to the communist north, then the neighboring countries of Lao's and Cambodia would fall to the communists next...then Thailand, then Burma, India, Pakistan, etc. This was the domino effect. Yes and Australia believed that if these countries fell, Australia would be next. This started the Vietnam war.
It's where one action triggers a series of similar actions, each one setting off the next one.
Domino effect or snowball effect.or chain reactions.
The Domino theory; once one nation fell the one next to it would fall next.
According to the site of Domino's Pizza their first pizza place was originally called "Domi-Nick's" when Tom Monaghan and his brother, James, purchased their first pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan in 1960. The next James traded his half of the business to his brother for a Volkswagen Beatle and four years later, in 1965 Tom renamed his business "Domino's Pizza, Inc." Mid seventies Domino's Pizza got noticed by Amstar Corp., the maker of Domino Sugar, whom instituted a trademark infringement lawsuit against them. However the Federal court ruled they did not infringe on the Domino Sugar trademark.
The term for this belief is the "domino theory." It was a Cold War foreign policy concept suggesting that if one country in a region fell to communism, the surrounding countries would also follow suit like a row of tumbling dominos.
If South Vietnam fell, then it's next door neighbor Cambodia would fall, then Laos, then Thailand, then Burma, Pakistan, India, etc.
No. Waves and tsunamis are the propagation of energy thru the water not the forward motion of water. The water pretty much moves vertcally up & down and pulls the water next to it up & down. Pulling the water next to it is what moves horizontally thru the water. Kind of like those large domino setups. Where you push one domino and you see the disturbance (falling dominos) move along but each domino doesn't really go anywhere, other than fall over.
The domino theory refers to any chain of events set off by a single event. The Domino Theory is simple. One country falls to a foreign influence, in turn the country next to it falls, and then that one causes another country to fall etc. until all the countries in the area have fallen. The example contributed above is the classic given for the Domino Theory. If you're wondering why it was related to the Cold War, it was because the Soviet Union used this technique to get all the countries in Europe to be communist, and they were successful because no one would decline them because they were a world super power and they knew they would be attacked if they did decline.
The outer electrons in a metal atom are loosely held, as a result they are easily moved from one atom to the next, transferring energy with it. When this happens though a piece of metal in one direction this energy gets transferred from one electron to the next, in a sort of domino effect
