Eisenhower's most successful foreign action during his presidential terms was the cease-fire agreement in Korea. He came into office with a war that was draining the US treasury and killing many American soldiers. In his first year as president, he resolved the problem by making the Northern and Southern Koreans agree to stay on their respective sides of the 38th parallel. He understood US' limitations when enforcing containment and took action accordingly which freed US resources for use in different programs.
