The policy of massive retaliation and the approach to war known as "brinksmanship" are primarily associated with U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles during the Eisenhower administration in the 1950s. Massive retaliation aimed to deter Soviet aggression by threatening overwhelming nuclear response to any act of aggression. Brinksmanship involved pushing dangerous situations to the edge of conflict to force the opponent to back down, thereby maintaining a strategic advantage. This approach reflected the heightened tensions of the Cold War era.
