Question

 According to the "domino theory"

A. Non-aligned countries were like a series of dominos without support to hold them up and were easily overtaken.
b. The proliferation of weapons through networks radiating out from the Soviet Union creates a domino effect overthrowing small countries.
c. A country that fell to communism would provide a staging ground for communist infiltrators to destabilize other countries nearby.
d. A country in economic crisis is likely to fall apart socially and then fall to quick fixes like communism.

Answer 1

Option C is right because the domino theory was a Cold War foreign policy that said if one country in a region became communist, the other countries in the area would follow in a way that was like a chain reaction. People thought that if one country fell to communism, communists would use it as a base to try to take over other countries nearby and make them unstable. These countries would then also fall to communism. This was why the US had a policy of "containment" and why they went to war in Korea and Vietnam.

Option A is wrong because it talks about non-aligned countries, which were not always communist. The domino theory, on the other hand, was about how communism spread.

Option B is wrong because it talks about the spread of weapons and networks, which is different from the spread of communism.

Option D is wrong because it talks about economic crises and quick fixes like communism, but the domino theory was about the spread of communism, not economic instability.
