The domino effect or domino theory is a Cold War political term first used publicly by US President Dwight Eisenhower in 1954.
- During the Cold War, Western countries, and especially the United States, assumed a sudden territorial expansion of the Soviet Union and communist ideology.

American Revolution
To win independence from Britain
The British originally ruled the first Colonies in what would be called the United States of America until the American Revolution of 1775 to 1783 when a lot of them rose up against the British in protest of what they termed unfair treatment imposed on them. They sued for independence to be free of the unfair treatment and to govern their own affairs.

To support a constitutional monarchy
Parliament was a main forced behind the rebellion and they did this with the excuse that more English people wanted a monarchy with some checks on its power in the form of a Constitutional Monarchy.
To protect Parliament's power.
There was a general worry that King James II was trying to curb the powers of Parliament and indeed he gave them cause to worry when in 1687, he dissolved Parliament with the aim of instilling a more subservient Parliament.
