The Hungarian Revolution was an extremely important issue for Eisenhower's administration. Though the Soviet Union did invade Hungary and the people were rebelling back, Eisenhower chose not to intervene with direct military force. This move seemingly went against the principles of containment and the Domino Theory, but it was the right decision. Eisenhower realized that aiding the Hungarian Revolution, a relatively minor conflict on the world scale, could turn to a conflict between the US and the USSR, the world's two greatest powers. The reason this event was so significant to Eisenhower's foreign policy is that it established the limits of containment and recognized the extreme danger of going directly against the Soviet Union.
