<h2>The United States and the Soviet Union developed the ability to completely destroy each other.</h2>

As the Cold War continued, the two superpowers (US and USSR) kept escalating their weapons capabilities and stockpiles.  It got to the point that if the two sides did plunge into war, they would face mutually assured destruction.

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 "brinkmanship."  In an article in <em>LIFE</em> 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.

ryzh [129]

Starting from the half of the 20th century, American enterprises started moving a series of their operations overseas int he search for gaining a competitive edge over their competitors. Cost reduction in the form of transport and labor costs was the main factor behind the moving of businesses overseas.

However, the political and economic environment of numerous countries in the world where these companies operate is complicated, as sudden government changes can bring the economy downwards or upwards. Another important factor is the guarantee of security of these businesses. The control of these businesses by governments or sudden attacks by locals are commons events that have happened throughout history. This is why it is important for the Department of State to constantly monitor US enterprises overseas in order to guarantee the protection of their interests.
