In 1950, Senator Joseph McCarthy led a campaign against alleged communists in the U.S. government and other institutions, which became known as McCarthyism. He claimed to have a list of communists working in the State Department and conducted aggressive hearings and investigations that fueled widespread fear of communist infiltration. His actions contributed to a broader atmosphere of paranoia during the Cold War, leading to the persecution of many individuals based on often unsubstantiated claims. Ultimately, McCarthy's tactics were discredited and he was censured by the Senate in 1954.
