The  United States and its allies worried that if Vietnam fell to the communists, other countries in Southeast Asia would follow.  This was known as "domino theory" -- that the spread of communism in Vietnam would result in other countries in the region falling like dominoes to the influence of communism.  

President Dwight Eisenhower is the one who initiated the use of the term "domino theory."  In a speech he gave in April, 1954, Eisenhower warned that if French Indochina fell to communism, it very likely could cause a domino  effect in Southeast Asia.  French Indochina is what the region of Vietnam was called during the days of French colonialism there.  The movement against French colonial control was led by Vietnamese nationalist who also happened to be communists.  The Vietamese nationalist / communist movement was led by HoChi Minh.

What assumptions have been made about fingerprints? What are the problems with these assumptions?
Pavel [41]

Fingerprint matching is determined through unique characteristics. To achieve it must have certain ridges. loops and whorls. The characteristic points are then compared to the prints on the system. When forensics finds that there are enough similar matching points, they state whether they are fingerprints in which they match or not.

It is assumed that prints are one hundred percent positive, that is their use is one hundred percent successful with a zero error.

However, the prints are not considered scientific evidence, but it is still a presumption. There is never a hundred percent matching the prints, but just the similarity within the prints.
