In reply to: Revised Eisenhower Topic 's message, "Mr. Davis" on Friday, February 08, 10:09:55am

The most significant foreign policy move Eisenhower made involved the U-2 plane over the Soviet Union. This spy plane was discovered in the USSR which revealed US' dishonesty (in flying the plane and later fabricating the pilot's mission-Khrushchev saw right through the lie). It ended any hopes for holding a conference between the leaders of the US and USSR as was planned. The major problem in the mission was that the plane was unprepared for the trip and the engines blew before it was safe due to low hydrogen levels. If it had been equipped properly this wouldn't have happened and Eisenhower should have made sure that nothing went wrong in such a high security mission. Eisenhower gave the USSR every reason to attack the US, luckily, they didn't.
