Detailed explanation-1: -President Lyndon Johnson’s 30 April 1965 decision to intervene in the Dominican civil war reflected pervasive concerns about a communist takeover similar to that which occurred after the Cuban Revolution in 1959. His decision also occurred amidst the escalating American military intervention in Vietnam.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Johnson Doctrine, enunciated by U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson after the United States’ intervention in the Dominican Republic in 1965, declared that domestic revolution in the Western Hemisphere would no longer be a local matter when the object is the establishment of a “Communist dictatorship".
Detailed explanation-3: -The Dominican Civil War (Spanish: Guerra Civil Dominicana), also known as the April Revolution (Spanish: Revolución de Abril), took place between April 24, 1965, and September 3, 1965, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Detailed explanation-4: -In an effort to forestall what he claims will be a “communist dictatorship” in the Dominican Republic, President Lyndon B. Johnson sends more than 22, 000 U.S. troops to the island nation. Johnson’s action provoked protests in Latin America and skepticism among many in the United States.
