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.

Answer and Explanation:

The New Deal was a series of economic and social programs that were implemented as a strategy to break the economic problems that caused and resulted from the great depression and prepare the country for a strong economic recovery. This measure was implemented by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

TVA, meaning Tennessee Valley Authority, was one of the New Deal programs and aimed to open jobs and implement rural Tennessee River Valley with electricity, which would allow greater production of products and services to be established, in addition to allowing the automation of rural production.

CCC refers to Civilian Conservation Corps. This was also a New Deal program and aimed to reduce unemployment in urban areas of the country, especially for young single people who could be a strong workforce.

FDIC was an American company that worked together with the New Deal. The purpose of this company was to get the American people back to trust commercial banks. This objective was achieved when this company allowed the provision of deposit insurance to commercial banks and savings banks in the country.
