The Red Scare in the late 1940s and early 1950s heightened fears of communism and led to increased military preparedness in Canada. The Canadian government expanded its military capabilities, focusing on anti-communist measures and aligning more closely with NATO allies, particularly the United States. This period also saw a rise in defense spending and recruitment, as well as a focus on intelligence and counterintelligence operations to combat perceived communist threats. Overall, the Red Scare significantly influenced Canada's defense policy and military strategy during the Cold War era.

What caused a fear of communism, and how did it change American policy

Russia went communist during WWI. After the Great War, there was a fear that Communism would sweep the world. It did not happen of course, but, people feared the spread of Communism after the War ended in Nov. 11, 1918.

The red scare was a movement in the united states in the early twentieth century and continued until the completion of the cold war. The accusation that was being made was that they were communists trying to overthrow the government.

No, the color red does not scare goats. Goats are dichromats, meaning they have limited color vision and primarily see shades of blue and green, making red appear as a dull gray or brown to them. They are more responsive to movement than color, so sudden movements or loud noises are more likely to startle them than the color red itself.

Americans became more open and welcoming to foreigners ----- ApEx :)

Americans were afraid that communist dictatorships would take over American allies and that there was a unified plot to take over the the United States by means of an insidious communist infiltration into labor unions, government agencies and other key organizations. At this time there was a fear that Russia might attack the United States with large scale nuclear bombing.

The Sacco-Vanzetti case exemplifies the mindset of the Red Scare by highlighting the intense fear and suspicion of immigrants and radical political ideologies in the 1920s. Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, both Italian immigrants and self-identified anarchists, were convicted of murder largely based on their political beliefs rather than concrete evidence. This case illustrated how the prevailing anti-communist sentiment fueled a bias against those seen as "other," leading to a miscarriage of justice that reflected the era's xenophobia and paranoia. Ultimately, it underscored the societal tendency to equate radical politics with criminality, further intensifying the climate of fear during the Red Scare.

The Red Scare was a campaign against communists, mainly focusing on the fear of communism infiltrating the United States government.
