The Red Scare refers to the period of intense fear of communism in the United States, particularly after World War II, as concerns about communist influence and espionage grew. McCarthyism, named after Senator Joseph McCarthy, was a campaign against alleged communists in the government and other institutions, characterized by aggressive investigations and unfounded accusations. This era, from the late 1940s to the 1950s, led to widespread paranoia, blacklisting, and violations of civil liberties, as many individuals faced persecution based on minimal evidence or mere suspicion of communist ties.

The US senator's name was Joseph McCarthy. The Red Scare is also known as McCarthyism.
