The Johnson Doctrine , enunciated by U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson after the United States ' intervention in the Dominican Republic in 1965,[ 1] declared that domestic revolution in the Western Hemisphere would no longer be a local matter when "the object is the establishment of a Communist dictatorship ".[ 2] It is an extension of the Eisenhower and Kennedy Doctrines .
In practice, the Johnson Doctrine was used as a pretext to oppose democracy movements in Latin America in favor of right-wing military dictatorships.
