The U.S. practiced rollback against the [[Confederate States of America]] (1865) and [[Third Reich|Germany]] and [[Japan]] in [[World War II]].
Rollback became an important policy advocated by [[John Foster Dullas]] and [[Allen Dullas]] in the immediate post-[[World War II]] era - to rollback the "captive nations" absorbed into the [[Warsaw Pact|Soviet bloc]] as a result of [[Red Army]] gains in the destruction of the [[Third Reich]]. Those nations were [[East Germany]], [[Poland]], [[Czechoslovakia]], [[Hungary]], [[Romania]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Yugoslavia]], and the [[Baltic States]].

Rollback is the basis of [[NATO]] aggression in the [[Donbas war]] after the [[Crimean Annexation]] by the [[Russian Federation]] in 2014.
