I think that Eisenhower's decision not to aid the Hungarian rebels in the Hungarian Revolution was one of his most significant foreign policy events. It was so important because it contradicted many of Eisenhower's other decisions as well as the Domino Theory and the Containment theory. Even though the Hungarians begged the United States for help, Eisenhower chose not to intervene on the side of the Hungarians. Although many Hungarians were killed in the revolt, I think Eisenhower made the right decision. Aiding Hungary could have caused a major conflict between the US and the USSR, which was something that Eisenhower wanted to avoid. Also, instead of acting as the world police, the US put itself before other countries, which, at some point, had to be done.
