That Communism would spread all over the world.
The US was concerned that the USSR would work to spread communism.
because he wanted to stop the spread of communism. because of the domino theory if 1 country were to fall then neighboring countries would fall to communism as well and he wanted to prevent that from happening
The US feared that if Communism took over Vietnam it would spread and slowly take over the world. damien streeter
America would fight to limit the spread of Communism :)
That the United States intended to stop communism from spreading
It was an attempt to stop the spread of communism, without it the whole of the 'free world' would have supposedly fallen to communism.
The United States did not want Communism to spread. Until then, Communism had been spreading by conquest and the United States did not want another country conquered by the Communists. The theory by the United States did not work. The Communists conquered South Vietnam. Then Communists conquered Cambodia. Cambodia would be the last country where the government was overthrown by a Communist revolution. The Communists killed the intelligentsia, which in other countries had been the main supporters of Communism. Without its traditional supporters, Communism can not spread.
because it would mean that the soviets would take control over everything
It was the scare that the soviets would spread communism over the world.
