John Foster Dulles
Under President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, America's policy of brinkmanship involved the strategy of pushing international conflicts to the brink of war to deter adversaries, particularly the Soviet Union. This approach emphasized the willingness to use nuclear weapons as a means of deterrence, thus raising the stakes in Cold War confrontations. It aimed to convey a strong stance against communism while avoiding direct military engagements. The policy was exemplified in events such as the Korean War and the Suez Crisis.
