The strategy the United States adopted in Vietnam based on the "domino theory" was:
"The United States committed millions of troops to the conflict in Vietnam because it feared that surrounding countries would fall to communism if Vietnam did."

This belief played a significant role in the U.S. decision to become heavily involved in the Vietnam War as a means of preventing the spread of communism in the region.
