The Red Scare during World War I was primarily fueled by widespread fear of communism and radical leftist movements, which gained prominence after the Russian Revolution of 1917. This fear was compounded by labor strikes and social unrest in the United States, leading to concerns that communist ideologies could infiltrate American society. Government actions, such as the Palmer Raids, reflected the heightened anxiety over perceived threats from both foreign and domestic radicals, resulting in a crackdown on dissent and civil liberties. The combination of wartime hysteria and the rise of socialist movements contributed to the intense paranoia of the era.

Joseph McCarthy significantly contributed to the Red Scare after World War II through his aggressive campaign against alleged communists in the U.S. government and other sectors. He famously claimed to have a list of communists within the State Department, which fueled public fear and paranoia about communist infiltration. His hearings and accusations led to widespread investigations, blacklisting, and the tarnishing of many reputations, creating an atmosphere of fear that stifled dissent and curtailed civil liberties during the early Cold War era.

One factor that led to the postwar Red Scare was the fear after World War I that anarchy would take over the United States. The same thing happened after World War II. Only then, the people of the United States feared that Communism would take over.
The Red Scare primarily occurred in the United States, particularly during the early 20th century after World War I and again during the late 1940s to the 1950s amid the Cold War. It was characterized by widespread fear of communism and the perceived threat of communist infiltration in American society and government. This led to increased government actions against suspected communists, including the actions of Senator Joseph McCarthy during the second Red Scare.
