The Red Scare refers to the fear of communism in the United States, particularly during the late 1940s and 1950s, which was fueled by the rise of the Soviet Union as a global superpower. This fear contributed to the Cold War, a period of political and military tension between the U.S. and the USSR, as Americans sought to contain the spread of communism both domestically and internationally. The paranoia surrounding communism led to heightened suspicion, the persecution of alleged communists, and the establishment of policies aimed at countering Soviet influence, shaping U.S. foreign and domestic strategies throughout the Cold War.

The Red Scare in the United States primarily occurred in two major periods: the first Red Scare took place from 1917 to 1920, following the Russian Revolution and World War I, characterized by widespread fear of communism and anarchism. The second Red Scare emerged in the late 1940s and continued into the 1950s, fueled by fears of Soviet influence during the Cold War and the rise of McCarthyism. These periods were marked by intense anti-communist sentiment, government investigations, and social paranoia.
The Cold War and the Red Scare are closely related as both stemmed from fears of communism and its influence during the mid-20th century. The Cold War was a geopolitical struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union, marked by ideological conflict, military tension, and competition for global influence. The Red Scare, particularly in the U.S., was a period of heightened anxiety over communist infiltration and espionage, leading to widespread paranoia, investigations, and the persecution of alleged communists. Together, they reflect the broader societal and political tensions of the era, as fears of communism permeated both domestic and international relations.
The red scare came in the wake of World War I. It showed an excessive fear leading to violations of individual rights.
