A U.S. Propaganda campaign made communism seem like the source of all evil, instead of simply a very bad idea. When people are afraid of something they see it everywhere.

The Second Red Scare was primarily driven by the fear of communism during the Cold War, particularly following World War II. Key events, such as the Soviet Union's successful atomic bomb test in 1949 and the communist takeover in China in 1949, heightened anxieties about communist infiltration in the U.S. government and society.

Who made the red scare?

The Red Scare primarily refers to two distinct periods of anti-communist sentiment in the United States, with the first occurring after World War I (1917-1920) and the second during the early Cold War years (late 1940s-1950s). The first Red Scare was largely fueled by events like the Bolshevik Revolution and a series of labor strikes, while the second was driven by fears of communist infiltration, particularly after World War II and the onset of the Cold War. Key figures in the second Red Scare included Senator Joseph McCarthy, who led aggressive investigations and accusations against alleged communists. Both periods reflected broader societal fears of communism and radicalism, often culminating in widespread paranoia and civil rights violations.
