Explanation:

The forty-second presidential election of the United States was held on Tuesday, November 4, 1952. The Republican candidate, Dwight D. Eisenhower, won a clear victory, ending twenty years of predominance of the Democratic Party; also, the Republicans managed to control by a narrow margin the Congress of the United States. In this period, the tension between the country and the Soviet Union in the context of the Cold War was high; at the same time, McCarthyism was in vogue, fueled by the widespread fear of communism among Americans. Foreign policy was a major factor in the race to achieve the Republican nomination. The country was polarized by the Korean War, which was stagnant, and corruption within the federal government was also a relevant issue. The economic and social issues did not have much relevance, because the economic situation was prosperous.
