The Domino Effect is the idea that one change causes another change, until an a final effect occurs that is not immediately obvious happens. For example, one justification for the Vietnam War was that if Vietnam fell to communism that the rest of Southeast Asia would become communist. |

The domino effect is the idea that some change, small in itself, will cause a similar change nearby, which then will cause another similar change, and so on in linear sequence, by analogy to a falling row of dominoes standing on end. A well-known use of this metaphor was a justification for the Vietnam War: if Vietnam fell to communism, then Cambodia would be next, then Laos, and eventually all of Southeast Asia. |
