THE EISENHOWER PRESIDENCY EISENHOWER AND THE COLD WAR

The Soviets and Communism Policy of Containment is abandoned; now it’s Massive Retaliation The arms race Mutually assured destruction lasts for the remainder of the Cold War

Space Exploration Soviets launch Sputnik Total embarrassment for the U.S.; why? National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Explorer was launched and the space race began (1958)

Eisenhower and the CIA Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Already was created in 1947, but Eisenhower used it differently Made it more powerful in order to crush Communism around the world

New Soviet Leader Emerges Nikita Khrushchev became dictator in 1953

Eisenhower’s Warning in his 1961 Farewell Address Warned us of the growing influence of the military; the military budget had grown dramatically and military leaders had allied with business to seek bigger and more expensive weapons. He feared that this alliance—a “military-industrial complex”—heated the arms race and could “endanger our liberties or democratic processes”.
