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.
