Question

How was Kennedy’s foreign policy a reaction to the Eisenhower years?

Answer 1

The near advisors to Kennedy claimed that the development of Eisenhower's foreign policy was stultified, slow-moving, too dependent on brinksmanship and major retaliation, and complacent. First, Kennedy provided the green light to a 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba launched by Eisenhower.

Explanation:

• Cold War is the global state conflict, Kennedy's foreign policy was governed by American disputes with the Soviet Union, represented through proxy contests. Like his antecedents, Kennedy embraced the containment policy which sought to halt the extent of communism.
• Concerned about the political and economic effects of the incursion, Eisenhower called for the withdrawal of Britain and France.
• Amid the crisis, Eisenhower introduced the Eisenhower Doctrine, according to which any nation in the East might petition the United States military forces for American economic assistance or aid.
