Eisenhower used the idea of
explain to the american public
why the united states entered the conflict in vietnam. he asserted that if
south vietnam was taken, laos, cambodia, thailand, and burma would
soon follow
o a) a proxy war
ob) the domino theory
oc) brinkmanship
od) total war

The correct answer is B, "the domino theory". American president Dwight Eisenhower (1890-1969) coined the term in a 1954 speech where he explained the importance of Vietnam for "the free world".

He used the expression to argue that if South Vietnam became communist, this would generate a chain reaction and many near countries would also become communists. It was a classic Cold War idea: this war was fought in the manner of influencing zones.

the most famous of all the units fighting in cuba, the "rough riders" was the name given to the first u.s. volunteer cavalry under the leadership of theodore roosevelt. roosevelt resigned his position as assistant secretary of the navy in may 1898 to join the volunteer cavalry. the original plan for this unit called for filling it with men from the indian territory, new mexico, arizona, and oklahoma. however, once roosevelt joined the group, it quickly became the place for a mix of troops ranging from ivy league athletes to glee-club singers to texas rangers and indians.
