Dwight D. Eisenhower won the presidential election of 1952.
Eisenhower developed multiple policies for the US in regards to the Cold War. One of the most popular ones was known as the Eisenhower Doctrine. This doctrine allowed Middle Eastern countries to request economic or military aid from the US if they felt threatened by Soviet aggression. This concept showed that the President Eisenhower was committed to the idea of containment, meaning he wanted to stop the spread of communism on a global scale.
