The decision by President Dwight D.

Eisenhower to intervene in Vietnam during the 1950s was a pivotal moment in the Cold War that had far-reaching implications for Southeast Asia.

Eisenhower's strategy was rooted in the broader context of the global ideological conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as the growing concerns over the spread of communism.

Eisenhower's intervention in Vietnam was primarily driven by the Domino Theory, which posited that the fall of one country to communism would lead to a chain reaction of other countries in the region also succumbing to communist influence. - https://vietnamfocusguide.com/blog/eisenhower-intervene-vietnam/?unique_id_skp0x5oo
