Eisenhower's policy of massive retaliation, articulated in the early 1950s, was a defense strategy that emphasized the use of nuclear weapons to deter aggression from adversaries, particularly the Soviet Union. The policy aimed to counteract the threat of conventional military engagements by asserting that any significant attack on the U.S. or its allies would result in an overwhelming nuclear response. This approach sought to maintain peace through the threat of mutual assured destruction, thus discouraging potential aggressors from initiating conflict. It marked a shift from previous strategies that relied more on conventional military forces.
