The correct explanation of the domino theory is:
If one country fell to Communism, others nearby would soon follow.
This theory was particularly significant during the Cold War, as it suggested that the spread of communism in one nation could trigger a chain reaction, leading to the adoption of communism by neighboring countries. This idea influenced U.S. foreign policy, especially in regions like Southeast Asia.
