Brinkmanship occurred in 1956.
The policy of massive retaliation and the approach to war known as brinkmanship were associated with U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles during the Cold War. Massive retaliation emphasized the threat of overwhelming nuclear force in response to any act of aggression, deterring potential adversaries. Brinkmanship involved pushing dangerous situations to the edge of conflict to compel an opponent to back down, thereby achieving strategic advantages without actual warfare. This approach aimed to maintain U.S. supremacy and deter Soviet expansion.
