Answer:

The right answer is: domino theory.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domino theory was seen as a likely outcome in the geopolitical chess of the Cold War in the developing world. According to the views and mentality of the era, if one country falls to Communist hands, neighbors will follow. It was a rationale for action in both Korea and Vietnam. It was also applied to Latin America.
