Sovereignty refers to the right that confers the authority to rule over a certain territory.
The question refers to France, which has sovereignty to rule in their department in South America, know as the French Guiana, which is a region of France and therefore part of the European Union. Since the independence of Belice in 1981, this is the only mainland American territory which is still part of a European country.
Are you talking about Pete Seeger or someone else?
<span>The domino theory, which governed much of U.S. foreign policy beginning in the early 1950s, held that a communist victory in one nation would quickly lead to a chain reaction of communist takeovers in neighboring states. In Southeast Asia, the United States government used the domino theory to justify its support of a non-communist regime in South Vietnam against the communist government of North Vietnam, and ultimately its increasing involvement in the long-running Vietnam War (1954-75). In fact, the American failure to prevent a communist victory in Vietnam had much less of a global impact than had been assumed by the domino theory. Though communist regimes did arise in Laos and Cambodia after 1975, communism failed to spread throughout the rest of Southeast Asia.
I hope this was of help.
