The Domino Theory as applied to Vietnam and Southeast Asia in the 1960's was: If one country fell to the Communists, all countries in the region would eventually fall to the Communists, similar to a row of Dominoes, where one is knocked over and starts a chain reaction. In 1975 the theory became a fact, when South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos did fall to the Communists, but, no other country in the region did.
