I believe President Dwight D. Eisenhower's most significant foreign policy action was voicing the Domino Theory. The domino theory was well known during his presidency and it was a theory that stated that once one nation falls to Communism, the others would fall too, like dominoes. So he felt that it was absolutely essential to stop the spread of Communism, and one way he approached this was by establishing the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) on 1954. This organization required for the Asian and Pacific nations to meet and agree on the measures to defend themselves from furthur aggression. Although it was dissolved in the early 1970s, it helped to strengthen the economy and standard of living for the Southeast Asian countries. It also helped to justify the United States decision in not going to the the 1956 elections to reunify Vietnam.
