There was no "trigger" (no specific cause). It just devoloped. Nazism existed during the 1930s too. Communism didn't become known to the outside world until about the 1920s. So, during the 1920s, 30s, 40s, the planet saw Imperialists, Nazis, and Communists, with the free world (capitalists) being the adversary of all of them.

Perhaps indirectly, in the sense that the existence of Communism caused the existence of anti-Communism. One of the pillars of Nazi ideology was fervent anti-Communism. Hitler made no secret of his anti-communist beliefs, writing of them in is book, "Mein Kampf". The Nazis believed that the Soviets were the real menace to the world, and their whole war was aimed at destroying the Soviets and creating "lebensraum" (living room) for Germans in the east. Many Germans seemed puzzled as to why the US and UK were at war with Germany, thinking they should join forces with the Germans to deal with the Soviets.

Anticommunism was belief that Communist rule was not acceptable. There were many who felt Communism was an imminent threat to the US after World War 2. The wars in Korea and Vietnam were conflicts the US became involved in in an effort to do just this.
