The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was formed in 1938 as a subcommittee of the House of Representatives, initially to investigate alleged disloyalty and subversive activities by Nazi sympathizers and other fascist groups. Its mandate later expanded to include investigations of communist influence in the United States, particularly during the Cold War era. The committee played a significant role in the Red Scare, conducting high-profile hearings that targeted various sectors, including Hollywood, labor unions, and civil rights organizations. HUAC's controversial tactics and methods often sparked significant public and political backlash.
