President Dwight Eisenhower: “The Domino Theory”
President Eisenhower used the game of dominoes to explain the importance of Indochina to U.S. security. Indochina was the term used to describe Southeast Asia. The following excerpt is from a press conference on May 12, 1954.
.“Finally, the geographical position [of communism]…moves in to threaten Australia and New Zealand.“It takes away, in its economic aspects, that region that Japan must have as a trading area of Japan, in turn, will have only one place in the world to go-that is, toward the communist areas in order to live.“So, the possible consequences of the loss are just incalculable to the free world.”
What other nations would a communist Indochina threaten and could fall like dominos?

The primary evidence for the domino theory is the spread of communist rule in three Southeast Asian countries in 1975, following the communist takeover of Vietnam: South Vietnam (by the Viet Cong), Laos (by the Pathet Lao), and Cambodia (by the Khmer Rouge).
