SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
During the early Cold War period, the Third World began to shed the yoke of European dominance. Locked in a global chess match to extend their political footprint, the superpowers jockeyed for influence in the Third World. In the backdrop of superpower competition, the British clung to a decaying Middle East imperial presence. Middle East nationalist leaders blatantly used their Cold War neutrality as a bargaining chip in the superpower struggle. As the complications of post-colonialism entangled in the Cold War geopolitical struggle, President Dwight Eisenhower, faced a highly unstable situation in the Middle East. During his first term as president, Eisenhower successfully managed two major Middle East crises in a political environment that combined the Cold War, imperialism, and nationalism.
