Following World War II, the United States was deeply apprehensive about the spread of communism, viewing it as a direct threat to democracy and capitalism. This anxiety fueled the onset of the Cold War, characterized by a policy of containment aimed at preventing the expansion of Soviet influence. The U.S. engaged in various strategies, including military alliances, economic aid programs like the Marshall Plan, and the establishment of NATO, to counteract communist movements globally. Public sentiment was largely anti-communist, leading to a culture of suspicion and the Red Scare within the country.
