I believe one of the most significant foreign policy moves during Eisenhower's presidency was the creation of the Southeast Asian Treaty Organization (SATO). The purpose of this organization, was for the larger, more powerful countries to help those countries not capable of self-defense, to fend off communism. So many democratic countries thought this organization necessary because of the "domino theory" made popular by Eisenhower. If one country falls to communsim, then the repurcusions would be like falling dominoes, the rest of the countries would follow and succumb to communsim. Although not hugely successful, this organization set a precedent for years to come. Now a days it is almost the duty of the larger countries to protect the free will of smaller countries, and to get involved when it is necessary.
