Presentation transcript:

The Policy of BRINKMANSHIP

John Foster Dulles, Secretary of State You have to take chances for peace, just as you must take chances in war…. If you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost.” John Foster Dulles, Secretary of State

Definition The practice, especially in international politics, of seeking advantage by creating the impression that one is willing and able to push a highly dangerous situation to the limit rather than concede

Behind BRINKMANSHIP Dulles hated to compromise Dulles was VERY anti-communist

Brinkmanship as a Policy Based on a threat of massive retaliation Kept peace by promising to use all its force, including Nukes. “Going to the brink, or edge of war”

Effects of Brinkmanship US increased air force Massive production of Nuclear Weapons Began the arms race when the USSR answered Caused large fear of Communist attack for the next 30 years

Stop

Eisenhower Doctrine - 1957 US would defend the Middle East against attack by any communist country. Congress approved it Gave president authority at his discretion to use American forces to protect Middle East.

Effects of Eisenhower Doctrine April 1957 - help was given to King Hussein who was under threat from left-wing groups in Jordan. 1958 - 10,000 marines went to the Lebanon to protect President Camille Chamoun from Muslim extremists. Created a great deal of anti-Americanism in the Middle East 1959 decided that Eisenhower Doctrine should be brought to an end.
