Mao's victory in the Chinese Civil War in 1949 intensified anti-communist sentiments in the United States, as it was perceived as a significant setback in the global struggle against communism. This event heightened fears of a "domino effect," where the spread of communism in Asia would threaten U.S. interests and allies. The loss of China to communism also fueled the Red Scare, leading to increased paranoia, investigations, and policies aimed at rooting out perceived communist influences within American society. Consequently, the U.S. government and public became more resolute in their opposition to communist ideologies both domestically and internationally.
