The '''Domino Theory''', first advanced during Harry S. Truman’s presidency, proposed that if a country came under the influence of Communists there would follow a “domino effect” that would spread [[communism]] to other nearby countries.  This theory drove U.S. [[foreign policy]] in the period between the end of [[WWII]] and the collapse of the [[Soviet Union]], known as the '[[Cold War]]'.  The Domino Theory was a phrase that became popular during the administration of U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower. According to this theory, once nations such as [[Vietnam]] fell to communism, other countries of Asia would fall like a row of standing dominoes, one after the other, each knocking the next over.
