Domino Theory
The domino theory was primarily associated with the spread of communism during the Cold War, particularly in Southeast Asia. It suggested that the fall of one country to communism could trigger a chain reaction, leading neighboring countries to also fall. Key countries involved in this theory included Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, where the U.S. feared that communist influence would expand throughout the region. The theory influenced American foreign policy, particularly in its military involvement in the Vietnam War.
The Truman administration initially provided support to the French colonial forces in Vietnam during the First Indochina War, marking the U.S.'s first significant involvement in the region. Eisenhower escalated this involvement by implementing the "Domino Theory," providing military and economic aid to South Vietnam and increasing the number of American military advisors. Under Kennedy, U.S. involvement deepened with the commitment of thousands of advisors and special forces, as well as the support of counterinsurgency tactics against the Viet Cong. This laid the groundwork for the significant escalations that would occur under the Johnson administration.
