Dwight D. Eisenhower's response to communism was characterized by a policy of containment and the promotion of the "domino theory," which suggested that the fall of one country to communism could lead to the spread of communism to neighboring nations. He emphasized the importance of military alliances, such as NATO, and supported interventions in regions threatened by communism, exemplified by U.S. involvement in Korea and Vietnam. Eisenhower also advocated for the use of covert operations through the CIA to undermine communist movements globally. Overall, his administration sought to contain communism while avoiding direct large-scale military conflicts.
