The Red Scare refers to two distinct periods of heightened fear of communism in the United States, the first occurring after World War I and the second during the Cold War in the late 1940s and 1950s. McCarthyism, named after Senator Joseph McCarthy, characterized the latter period, marked by aggressive investigations and accusations against alleged communists in government, entertainment, and other sectors, often without substantial evidence. This led to widespread paranoia, loss of employment, and violations of civil liberties, as many individuals faced blacklisting and persecution. The era is remembered as a significant episode in American history that highlighted the dangers of political extremism and the impact of fear on society.
