Detailed explanation-1: -The domino theory was a Cold War policy that suggested a communist government in one nation would quickly lead to communist takeovers in neighboring states, each falling like a row of dominos.
Detailed explanation-2: -U.S. leaders endorsed the domino theory, which held that if South Vietnam fell to the Communists, other nations in the region, such as Laos and Cambodia, would also fall.
Detailed explanation-3: -The domino theory was the basis for the United States strategy of containment, and the reason for entering the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was a result of the national strategy of containment. The national strategy of containment demanded the U.S. stop communist aggression into the countries of Southeast Asia.
Detailed explanation-4: -The escalating US involvement in Southeast Asia was driven by the logic of the domino theory, which contended that the falling of one country to communism would result in other surrounding countries succumbing to communism, much as one toppled domino will take down others in a row.
