It is the Red Scare(:
Red scare heightened suspicion of Communists and other radicals, and the fear of widespread infiltration of Communists in U.S. government.
I think this was added during the McCarthy era where there was a hysterical fear of Communism. Along with loyalty oaths and "purges" of suspected Communists, the "In God We Trust" was added to promote anti-communism. Also added was "One Nation Under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance.
How could the Domino Theory lead fear of Communism in Australia in the 1960's?
Americans showed the fear of communism thorough the McCarthy trials. The trials tried many innocent people for fear they supported communism. Students practiced duck and cover drills in case of raids.
America was actively fighting Communism as early as 1919 in the Russian Civil War. The fear of communism does not stem from the Soviet Union, it stems from what communism represents. There was no great event that started the fear of communism, made clear by the fact that in 1919 the Bolsheviks were yet to actually do that many great evils.
