10.7- Fighting Communism

Eisenhower Eisenhower felt that the way to win the Cold War was through a strong military and through a strong economy. He realized a conventional war would be too expensive. He wanted to prevent war from happening in the first place. Massive retaliation- used to threaten the use of nuclear weapons on any Communist state that tried to gain territory through force.

New Defense Strategy Eisenhower cut military spending but increased America’s nuclear arsenal. B-52 bomber- could fly across continents and drop nuclear bombs anywhere in the world. Intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarines capable of launching nuclear missiles were created.

Brinkmanship Eisenhower was willing to threaten nuclear war to maintain peace Some said that brinksmanship was too dangerous.

Fighting Communism Covertly Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)- was used to covertly conduct operations. The CIA operations took place in developing nations. The two examples of covert operations that achieved American objectives took place in Iran and Guatemala in the 1950s. Covert operations did not always work and the US was criticized for them.
