The Red Scare and McCarthyism were primarily fueled by fears of communist infiltration during the Cold War, particularly following World War II. The Soviet Union's expansion, the success of the communist revolution in China, and the onset of the Korean War heightened anxieties about domestic subversion. Senator Joseph McCarthy capitalized on these fears by alleging that numerous government officials and citizens were communists or communist sympathizers, leading to a widespread culture of suspicion and persecution. This era was characterized by aggressive investigations and accusations without substantial evidence, resulting in significant social and political consequences.
