Aid to France in Indochina was a quid pro quo for French cooperation with America's plans for the defense of Europe through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. After China became a communist state in 1949, the stability of Japan became of paramount importance to Washington, and Japanese development required access to the markets and raw materials of Southeast Asia. The outbreak of war in Korea in 1950 served primarily to confirm Washington's belief that communist aggression posed a great danger to Asia . Subsequent charges that Truman had "lost" China and had settled for a stalemate in Korea caused succeeding presidents to fear the domestic political consequences if they "lost" Vietnam.

- 258: Atomic Bomb 6
- ... aid to the Japanese in their rebuilding process. This not only formed a strong Japan, but also went a long way towards ending the animosity between them and the United States. The Japanese invasion of China immediately before and during World War II lasted from the early 1930's to 1945. During this dark period in modern Asian history, the Japanese military machine was motivated by a desire for expansion and imperialism, a desire to end their second class citizenship in the world, by dominating others.

- 260: The Crucible 9
- ... course; the paranoid, real or pretended, always secretes its pearl around a grain of fact. From being our wartime ally, the Soviet Union rapidly became a expanding empire. In 1949, Mao Zedong took power in China. Western Europe also seemed ready to become Red--especially Italy, where the Communist Party was the largest outside Russia, and was growing. Capitalism, in the opinion of many, myself included, had nothing more to say, its final poisoned bloom having been Italian and German Fascism. McCarthy--brash and ill-mannered but to many authentic and true--boiled it all down to what anyone could understand: we had "lost China" and would soon lose Europe as well, because the State Department-- staffed, of course, under Democratic Presidents-was full of treasonous pro-Soviet intellectuals.
