Zahraniční politika Spojených států vůči východnímu bloku během povstání v Polsku a Maďarsku. Hledání střední cesty.

This text examines U. S. foreign policy toward the Eastern Bloc during Dwight D. Eisenhower‘s presidency. Specifically, the text focuses on the „revolutionary“ events unfolding in Poland and then Hungary during 1956 and the U. S. government‘s discussions of possible responses to these events, which included discussions of possible retaliatory measures, particularly of an economic nature, and efforts to achieve global diplomatic condemnation of the violent intervention of the Polish and Soviet armies. The text also compares U. S. policy toward the two countries and attempts to place this response in the broader context of U. S. foreign policy strategy at the time, which was influenced by both the strategy of containment and Dulles‘s proclamation of the „liberation of captive nations“. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
