Answer:

President Dwight Eisenhower supported CIA covert operations and highly regarded the value of intelligence information. In his years, major technological developments such as the U-2 spy aircraft and CORONA satellites, both developed during the Eisenhower administration, allowed the CIA get much new information that was impossible to gather before. His government also supported covert operations to overthrow governments that the administration didn´t like or suspected to be communist. This is the case of the CIA-orchestrated coup against the nationalist government of Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala in 1954, who had become a target because of his treatment of abusive US corporations that exploited Guatemalan peasants.

In the Eisenhower years, there were also secret CIA operations in Indonesia to prevent a Communist takeover and in Iran, where the CIA organized a coup against the local ruler.

Sometimes called the Pact of Paris for the city in which it was signed, the pact was one of many international efforts to prevent another World War, but it had little effect in stopping the rising militarism of the 1930s or preventing World War II.
