The Red Scare, particularly in the United States during the late 1940s and 1950s, led to widespread fear of communist infiltration and espionage, resulting in aggressive government actions such as loyalty oaths and investigations by bodies like the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Many individuals, including artists, intellectuals, and public figures, faced blacklisting, career destruction, and social ostracism based on often flimsy evidence. This period also fostered a culture of paranoia and repression, stifling dissent and promoting conformity in American society. Overall, the Red Scare significantly impacted civil liberties and heightened tensions during the Cold War.
