    Rollback is a political science strategy to force a change in a state's major policies, usually by replacing its ruling regime. It contrasts with containment, which prevents a state's expansion, and détente, which involves cooperation with a state. Most discussions of rollback deal with United States foreign policy toward Communist countries during the Cold War. While unsuccessful in Korea in 1950 and Cuba in 1961, rollback was successful in Grenada in 1983. The U.S. also discussed but avoided rollback in East Germany in 1953 and Hungary in 1956 due to risk of Soviet intervention or major war. Rollback also occurred against governments in World War 2, Afghanistan in 2001, and Iraq in 2003, sometimes called "regime change" when targeting an established

    In ​political science​, ​rollback​ is the strategy of forcing a change in the major policies of a state,

    usually by replacing its ruling regime. It contrasts with ​containment​, which means preventing the
    expansion of that state; and with ​détente​, which means a working relationship with that state. Most
    of the discussions of rollback in the scholarly literature deal with ​United States foreign policy​ toward
    Communist countries​ during the ​Cold War​. The rollback strategy was tried and was not successful in
    Korea in 1950​ and in ​Cuba in 1961​, but it was successful in ​Grenada in 1983​. The political
    leadership of the United States discussed the use of rollback during the ​uprising of 1953 in East
    Germany​ and the ​Hungarian Revolution of 1956​, but decided against it to avoid the risk of ​Soviet
    intervention or a major war.​[1]
    Rollback of governments hostile to the U.S. took place in ​World War II​ (against Italy 1943, Germany
    1945 and Japan 1945), ​Afghanistan​ (against the ​Taliban​ 2001) and ​Iraq​ (against ​Saddam Hussein
    2003). When directed against an established government, rollback is sometimes called "​regime
    change​".​[2]
