Explanation:
“Brinkmanship” is the strategic technique that is sometimes practiced in foreign conflicts. <u>It means to push the conflict dangerously close to the active confrontation with the idea opponent shall back down to avoid the violent encounter or, potentially, the war.</u> The strategy relies on power play and chance-taking. While the strategy was performed many times in history, the term was first used by U.S. secretary of state John Foster Dulles.
<u>The term was then popularized during the Cold war as it was the conflict that relied heavily on these kinds of strategies.</u> The most famous example of brinkmanship also comes from this time. It is the Cuban missile crisis. This event is notable because the Soviet Union has placed nuclear weapons on the Cuban land, which is rather near to the U.S. as well as its sphere of influence. In response to the threat, the US blockaded Cuba. These acts show us the performance of brinkmanship on both sides.
