Risk of Nuclear War! Expanded Foreign Policy!

by: Abrar Rashid
by: Abrar Rashid

With Eisenhower in office, he is claiming

the path to victory lies within a reliable
economy; however, his means just may be
the end. According to Eisenhower, the
economy is being burned through the
smaller troops trying to contain
communism. Eisenhower’s solution is to
implement massive retaliation, a strategy
to sway your enemy with threats of nuclear
war. On this note, we can see that
Eisenhower does not retreat from conflict;
Truman conveyed his form of neutrality that
expired soon after, but Eisenhower’s
methods, although risky abusing nuclear
force, bring results. He expresses that
nuclear weapons bring more “bang for the
buck.” Although it’s effective, many people
criticize him for his threats and bring
attention to the danger of his close call on
the brink of war, called brinkmanship. An
example of this strategy currently in action
is the Taiwan Crisis; China is threatening
to invade Taiwan, but Eisenhower claims
they fall under the anti-communist umbrella
and protects them with hints of nuclear
power if they attack. They will most likely
back down unless they want the full force of
nuclear power.
CRISIS IN THE MIDDLE EAST!
by: Keith Bernius
A brinkmanship is happening in Africa
with Arab nations. President Eisenhower
wants to prevent alignment with Arab
nations and the Soviet Union. Secretary of
State sends money to Egypt to help build a
dam on the Nile River. In a turn of events,
however, Egypt buys weapons from
Communist Czechoslovakia. Egyptian
troops seize control of the Suez Canal
from Anglo-French company intending to
use the canal’s profits to pay for the dam.
Meanwhile, the CIA enters Iran due to
Iranian prime minister Mohammed
Mossadegh nationilizing an oil deal with
the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, the CIA also
intervenes in Guatemala when Communist
Czechoslovakia sends arms to Guatemala.
President Gamal Abdul Nasser of Egypt is
attempting to join all Arab people under
one nation after coming out of the Suez
crisis heroically. Eisenhower’s concern is
that Nasser has ties to the Soviets and is
creating plans to overpower the Middle
East. To combat this issue, Eisenhower
asked congress to allow military force
when Middle East countries were in need
of assistance against communist
opposition. This seems to be an expansion
of the Truman Doctrine, as it now includes
the Middle East. It has come to be known
as the Eisenhower Doctrine. His
assumptions became reality whenever
rebels seized Iraq. Lebanon feared he was
the next on the path and called us for help.
Eisenhower accepted the call for
assistance and sent 5,000 troops to the
capital of Lebanon until the storm passed.

U-2 SPY PLANE SHOT DOWN!

by: Asher

New information has been unveiled

covering the actions of Khrushchev re-
implementing the communist superiority
over Hungary. He is demanding that our
troops be removed from Berlin. The
secretary of state will not allow this,
though, as the secretary answered with a
resounding no along with saying they will
respond “if need be with military force.”
Eisenhower has invited him to our lovely
country and they have agreed on a summit
in Paris; however, the Soviet Union has
apparently located a spy plane, called the
U-2 Spy Plane, and took it out. This will
lose all hope for a summit in Paris, and will
SATELLITES LAUNCH! THE
most likely mean the end of Eisenhower’s
SPACE RACE BEGINS!
by: Keith Bernius presidency.

As we began to develop intercontinental

ballistic missiles, we are stunned to find out
the Soviets have already made them. They
demonstrate by launching their first satellite
on October 4, 1957, named Sputnik. Four
months later, we launch our own satellite
named Explorer 1. President Eisenhower
establishes National Aeronautics and
Space Administration. Both we and the
Soviet Union are continuously launching
satellites into orbit for spying and
communication. At this time, the Soviets
seems to be winning the race. We better
step up our game if we wanna win.
