The Second Red Scare emerged after World War II primarily due to increasing tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, leading to fears of communist infiltration. Events such as the Soviet Union's successful atomic bomb test in 1949, the communist takeover in China, and espionage cases like those of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg heightened anxieties about domestic threats. The rise of McCarthyism, characterized by aggressive investigations and accusations against alleged communists, further fueled paranoia and anti-communist sentiment throughout the 1950s. The combination of geopolitical events and internal fears solidified the Second Red Scare in American society.
