Re: "...the “fall” of a noncommunist state to communism would precipitate the fall of noncommunist governments in neighbouring states. The theory was first proposed by President Harry S. Truman to justify sending military aid to Greece and Turkey in the 1940s". >>> Right. So it was Truman, not Eisenhower to first publicly use the term (though I'll bet neither of them invented the term.) >>> So didn't you just prove my point (when I said the Domino Theory had been applied to potential communist takeovers in many countries around the World?) >>> Your own quote refers to it's use in refering to a country in Europe, and one in the Middle East. >>> (And, I'm quite sure I've also seen it used over the years in refering to countries in Latin America and Africa.)
