Domino theory
\Dom"i*no the"o*ry\
A political theory current in the 1960's, according to which
the conversion of one country in South Asia to communism will
start a sequential process causing all Asian countries to
convert to Communism.
Note: The apparent assumption was that an Asian country
politically aligned with the West was as politically
unstable as a domino standing on edge. It was used by
some as a justification for American involvement in the
Vietnam war, 1964-1972.
