1. The Confident Years

2. Why We Liked Ike Foreign policy is a rule governing international relations. Dwight Eisenhower was one of these foreign policy presidents by doing the following: 1.Helped hold together the alliance that defeated Nazi Germany. 2.Built NATO. 3.Sought to be the Republican candidate to make sure the U.S. kept its international commitments. 4.Became president by emphasizing foreign policy expertise.

3. "Every gun that is fired, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed." The argument he is making here is that they should not be spending the money on military expenses. But should be spending on the American people.

4. Sputnik Sputnik was the world’s first artificial satellite launched by the USSR. FREAKIN OUT!!!! Eisenhower didn’t do more to calm the fears of the public because he did not want to reveal secret info to Russia.

5. Containment in Action The U.S. accepted the existing sphere of Communist influence but tried to block its growth. U.S. used government intervention in the affairs of other nations to stop Communism.

6. Chinese Truce The Chinese accepted the truce in the Korean War because Eisenhower shifted atomic bombs 400 miles away from China. Also the cost of the war led them to the truce.

8. Khrushchev Khrushchev was the leader of the Soviet Union. Espionage = spies That mole

9. Eisenhower’s Statement "unpleasant reality of international espionage" U.S. is capable of fighting back, and we are not easily threatened

10. Miscommunication U.S. kept flying planes over in the Soviet Union, showing our superiority. When the Soviets stopped complaining, the U.S. took this as their acceptance when they really were not accepting this at all.
