Correct answer:  He promoted the policy of brinkmanship.

<u>Explanation</u>:

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under President Eisenhower.  He held the office from 1953 to 1959.  He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinksmanship."  In an article in LIFE magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

Why was the concept of manifest destiny controversial when it was first outlined?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Manifest Destiny is the belief that Americans had the right to expand westward across the North American continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The concept of this was controversial when first outlined because some citizens didn't like the idea of "invading" the whole continent. Most people didn't like the idea of change and wanted to remain neutral.
