Four American presidents were driven to send weapons and soldier to fight in Vietnam due to the B. fear of communism spreading to many Asian countries. Around this time, US policymakers relied upon a concept of the "Domino Theory," which argued that if one nation were to fall to communism, countries nearby would then become communist.
A common factor that triggered the hot wars in Asia was based on communism. The United States wanted to halt the spread of communism while the Soviet Union wanted to influence every region and make them communists.
