The Eisenhower Doctrine
SummaryWhen Eisenhower replaced Truman as president in 1962, he began a doctrine of containment around the world, intending to prevent the spread of communism. Eisenhower also promised to end the Korean War. In order to limit the effects of nationalism, establish a free trade bloc, and establish a common front against communism, the EEC was created.
Quote:If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower Question:Did the Eisenhower Doctrine really help stop communism from spreading worldwide? Or did it just stall it?
