Eisenhower Doctrine
The Eisenhower Doctrine was a policy announced by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower on January 5, 1957. It allowed Middle Eastern countries threatened by armed aggression to request American economic or military assistance. The doctrine authorized U.S. forces to protect nations requesting aid against aggression by countries controlled by international communism. Many Arabs viewed it as an effort to extend Western influence and restrain Arab nationalism.
