Dulles Missed Major Objective Despite Alliance Expansion
John Foster Dulles served as secretary of state for six years striving to seize the initiative from the Soviet Union. He failed to win that overarching aim but vastly broadened United States alliances, extending commitments in the Far East, Middle East, and beyond. His flexible tactic of securing congressional authority helped manage crises, notably Lebanon and Jordan. The Suez crisis tested him as he faced a split in the Atlantic coalition and chose to back allies while restoring ties a year later.
