Those events led to a domino effect that has yet to end.

College kids are online because their friends are online and if one domino goes, the other dominos go.

It was all about preventing this domino theory that if one country in a region would fall to Communism, the other countries would.

The next day the next day, not even 24 hours had passed in Peru, the president of Peru said, We'll do 250. And boom, a little domino effect.

So, to some degree, it would've been easier for Communism to spread, because people would've known that the US couldn't engage it, but despite of that the Domino theory didn't happen.

You know, you had the containment theory, that we had to stop Communism from spreading, and the Domino theory that if one country would fall to Communism, then the other ones that didn't happen!

So it kind of disproved the Domino theory, especially because after the Vietnam War, the US would not be able to enter another war like it for some time, because the American people wouldn't let it happen.

And in this time period, the US is starting to think in terms of Cold War and in terms of how do we stop Communism, and how do we contain it, this whole theory of Containment, that the best way to stop the Soviet Union is just to make sure that Communism cannot spread that it gets contained, that we have the Domino theory in the US, that if one country falls to Communism in a region, that the rest of the countries will eventually fall and that is not good for Containment.
