McCarthyism became a catchword for the intense anti-communist sentiment and political repression in the United States during the early 1950s, particularly under Senator Joseph McCarthy's leadership. It characterized a period marked by widespread accusations, fear-mongering, and investigations targeting alleged communists in government, entertainment, and various sectors of society. The term now symbolizes the dangers of baseless accusations and the violation of civil liberties in the name of national security.
