Which of the following statements best describes the soviet union’s role in eisenhower’s domino theory?
a)the soviet union occupied eastern european countries and imposed communist rule across the region.
b)eastern europe formed a bloc to oppose soviet rule and stop the spread of communism across the region.
c)eastern europe brought communism to the soviet union and imposed communist rule across the region.
d)the soviet union fell to communism only after a number of eastern european nations chose to adopt it.

The correct answer is A. According to Eisenhower's domino theory, the Soviet Union occupied Eastern European countries and imposed communist rule across the region.

Explanation:

The domino theory, formulated by President Eisenhower, established that if a country enters in a certain political system, it would drag others from its area towards that same ideology. Following the same interpretive line, he predicted that communism could spread throughout the world if the spiral that the Soviet Union was causing in Eastern Europe and Asia could not be stopped.

For the successive American administrations the Domino Theory became a priority in its international policy agenda and they carried out all kinds of actions in the five continents to neutralize it (creation of NATO, for example).

A)The Soviet Union occupied Eastern European countries and imposed communist rule across the region.

Explanation:

After World War II, Europe was divided into two influence zones. In the West, we could find countries that followed the capitalist ideas, supported by the United States. In the East, it was the opposite, with the Soviet Union promoting socialism. During this period, a crescent hostility between these two countries would lead to the Cold War. On the East countries, an interesting feature began to happen. The Soviet Union did not raise its influence over the entire continent but created an influence zone occupying one country. Then, another one would follow the idea, and gradually, this influence zone would increase. This idea of domino's effect was used by President Eisenhower to explain the Soviet tactics to create its communist zone.

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.

in 'popular history' of europe in america it's common to blame the rise of the nazis (and of coursewwii, too) mainly on the treaty of versailles. despite the harshness of the treaty and despite the inflation of 1919-23 germany did benefit from the economic buoyancy of the roaring twenties. in the general election in 1928, the nazis only managed to get 12 (out of about 584) seats in the reichstag. the nazis were widely seen as a laughing-stock led by a funny little man given to yelling and wild gesticulation. of all european countries, none was hit harder than germany by the stockmarket crash of october 1929. germany had borrowed very large sums from american banks, with much of the money repayable either on demand or at short notice. these loans were of course recalled, and bankruptcies in germany rose sharply from the start of 1930 (or earlier). unemployment rose sharply, too. the german constitution of 1919 contained much that was utopian, including the right to paid employment. the realities of the situation made a mockery of the weimar constitution. one of german's great weaknesses at the time was the lack of a broadly based, popular right-wing party comparable to, say, the republicans in the us or the conservatives in britain. the obvious candidate, the german nationalists (the dnvp), had lost its grip and was hopelessly out oftouch with many of its supporters especially in rural areas. germany became increasingly hard to govern.

from about the middle of 1930 onwards the new chancellor, br�ning, had to govern by decree. in the absence of mainstream right-wing party, the nazis - who ruthlessly exploited genuine grievances - suddenly became the largest single party in the reichstag. with the growing effects of the great depression, unemployment reached about 27% (or more) in 1932. acting on bad advice (from the dnvp) hindenburg dismissed brüning in july 1932. in the general election that followed, the nazis won 37% of the seats. the other party that did well was the communist party (kpd) with 14%. fresh elections were held in november 1932: the nazi vote fell slightly, but the communist vote rose to 17%. in the streets of berlin and other major cities violence between left and right and their paramilitary wings grew. by late 1932, the effects of the great depression in germany had passed their peak, but this wasn't obvious at the time. the steady rise in communist vote triggered panic among most of the mainstream parties. after trying various solutions to the political crisis, hindenburg again took very bad advice - again from the dnvp. on the basis of this advice, he appointed hitler reichs chancellor on 30 january 1933 who promised to form a coalition with the german nationalists (dnvp). he did so, but at the same time almost immediately unleashed the sa (stormtroopers) who started a reign of terror within two months germany became a dictatorship, complete with concentration camps. joncey
