Abstract
President Eisenhower seeks a nonmilitary solution in the struggle between the People's Republic of China and Taiwan in the Formosa Straits, and does not get involved in the Hungarian Revolution. Eisenhower's efforts to keep the peace sometimes puts the U. S. at odds with its allies as is the case in the attack on Egypt. The United States reacts firmly against Britain, France, and Israel when they launch a coordinated aggressive action to "protect" the Suez canal, without U.S. knowledge. The intensity of the Cold War during the 1950s is a result of the nuclear arms race and the ideological competition between Eisenhower and Nikita Khrushchev and their advisors. In his last years in office Eisenhower becomes very concerned about the dangers of an accidental nuclear war, and warns against granting too much power to the military industrial complex.
