Aim: Did the Eisenhower administration unnecessarily intensify the Cold War? Key Terms: Soviet Satellite Suez Crisis Vietnam Domino Theory Federal Highway Act Eisenhower Doctrine Levittown Brinkmanship Cuba Essential Questions: 1. How did the continuing Cold War affect the Eisenhower administration? 2. What did Eisenhower warn in his farewell address? 3. To what extent did Eisenhower continue the containment policy of Harry Truman?

TIMELINE 1950- Korean War begins 1952- The United States explodes its first hydrogen bomb—9 months later, the Soviet Union tests its own 1953- Korean War ends Stalin dies- Khrushchev assumes power in the Soviet Union 1954- France surrenders Vietnam with the fall of Dien Bien Phu 1955- Warsaw Pact is organized 1956- Suez Crisis occurs in the Middle East 1957- Soviet Union launches Sputnik—leads to US fear that they are behind in the technology race—US begins NASA Eisenhower Doctrine- Promises aid to Middle Eastern countries resisting communism (similar to the Truman Doctrine)

1954: France Surrenders Vietnam Vietminh (organization that led the struggle for Vietnamese independence) defeat French army at Dien Bien Phu. The US backed the French, while Chinese & Russians backed communist Vietnamese. Eisenhower’s Domino Theory: if one country falls to communism they all will! Treaty in Geneva temporarily divides Vietnam into North and South at the 17th parallel.

Brinkmanship The willingness to go to the brink (edge) of war to force the other side to back down. Ex: Suez Crisis!

Foreign Policy – maintain peace Korean War Armistice Decrease Military spending and size

Foreign Policy - Intensified the Cold War Vietnam – south Vietnam support pledge (a) bank of Vietnam (b) $ support Soviet Satellite Cuba seized by communist Castro Removes publically chosen Iranian leader (communist) and put in dictator Shah Brinkmanship – threaten with bombs

Domestic Policy Levittown (suburbs) Federal Highway Act Apptd. Warren Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (Eisenhower distanced himself from Brown Decisions)

To what extent did Eisenhower continue the containment policy of Harry Truman? In other words, we were creating the biggest, strongest, most expensive military in the world, and Eisenhower thought it was important to do this to actually prevent war – because who would want to fight against this kind of military? But at the same time, he knew that doing this was dangerous because it could make us military obsessed, and if another war did come about, it would be a horrifying war and our priorities would not be skewed. Were we moving away from our policy of containment?
