I think Eisenhower's most successful foreign policy was his ending the Korean War (not to be repetitive...). During his campaign he promised to do so, and he saw his promise through by threatening nuclear attack and signing an armistice. Ending the war was largely a preventative measure - although the U.S. didn't achieve victory, ending the war prevented further casualties and spread of communism. Dividing Korea once again at the 38th parallel kept communism out of South Korea, which a major goal of the U.S.
