The Domino Theory dealt with the idea that if any country fell
to Communism, all the surrounding countries would also fall to
Communism, like dominoes. The following is a quote from President
Eisenhower in 1954:
"Finally, you have broader considerations that might follow what
you would call the "falling domino" principle. You have a row of
dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will happen
to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly.
So you could have a beginning of a disintegration that would have
the most profound influences."
