The battle to remove communists from the United States was primarily led by Senator Joseph McCarthy during the early 1950s. He spearheaded a campaign known as McCarthyism, which involved aggressive investigations and accusations against individuals in government and other sectors, alleging communist ties. This period was marked by heightened fears of communism during the Cold War, leading to widespread paranoia and numerous violations of civil liberties. McCarthy's tactics ultimately led to his downfall and a backlash against his methods.

The United States did not want Communism to spread. Until then, Communism had been spreading by conquest and the United States did not want another country conquered by the Communists.

Cambodia would be the last country where the government was overthrown by a Communist revolution. The Communists killed the intelligentsia, which in other countries had been the main supporters of Communism. Without its traditional supporters, Communism can not spread.
