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.

One reason why the winner of the popular vote might not win the presidency is that

Sauron [17]

Due to the flaws on Electoral College, there will always be a possibility that the winner of the popular vote may not win the presidency. This has already occurred four times and the most recent in 2000. This is because of the winner take all factor which means that any votes won by the loser of the popular vote are not replicated in the electoral vote. Like in 2008, Barack Obama won only in the 51 percent of the popular vote in Ohio but still, he won all of Ohio's electoral votes even though most of the Ohioans voted for John McCain.
