I think the US belief in the domino theory was directly responsible for the American involvement in the Vietnam War. The Cold War tensions were so high at that time that it was considered entirely possible that if one country fell to communism, the rest of them in that region would fall too. US President Dwight Eisenhower was certain that if the communists were not stopped in Vietnam, the entire region of South Asia will become communist.
