To justify his support for South Vietnam, President Dwight Eisenhower and Vice-President Richard Nixon put forward the 'domino theory. It was argued that if the first domino is knocked over then the rest topple in turn. Applying this to South-east Asia he argued that if South Vietnam was taken by communists, then the other countries in the region such as Loas, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, Malaysia and Indonesia, would follow. spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk

Domino Theory First articulated by President Eisenhower, The idea that if any nation fell to communism, the surrounding nations would be likely to fall to communism as well, starting a chain reaction in which nations "fell" like dominoes in a line. The Domino Theory was used to justify US involvement in Vietnam. According to Domino Theory, if Vietnam fell, all of Indochina and more might fall. sparknotes.com
