State Dulles visited Taiwan to offer assistance
• US-China made an agreement to only shell Taiwan
on odd days, so US could bring supplies, which lasts

• Military – the US will no longer send US
soldiers to contain communism, but will
provide military assistance
• President Carter supplied regional powers (ex.
Brazil, Turkey, South Africa, Iran, Indonesia)
with aid and training to contain communism
• Domino Theory did not happen in Asia as Laos

where else
