The domino theory applied to the United States being involved in Vietnam because communism was starting to take over Southeast Asia. Laos and Cambodia also became affected by the war in Vietnam. Other countries had tried to help and already given up by the time the United States was fully involved in the war.
The US was worried that if Vietnam fell to communism it would lead to a domino effect. It was believed that nearby countries would also become communist as a result.
The Domino Theory was a political hypothesis used to justify intervention in the Vietnam War. The theory states that if one country fell to communism, then the surrounding countries would also fall to communism.

Domino Theory
The domino theory was a Cold War ideology that argued if one country fell to communism, neighboring countries would also fall like a row of dominoes. This theory guided U.S. foreign policy during the Vietnam War and was used to justify military intervention and support for anti-communist regimes in the region. However, the domino theory was ultimately disproven as communism did not spread to other Southeast Asian countries after the fall of South Vietnam.
It was not a coalition. It was First the French who wanted it back as their colony. They left in 1954. The US then went in to prevent the "Domino Theory" from occurring. So first the French than the Americans.
