Explanation:

Fears of communist rising influence in the USA existed since the beginning of the Russian Revolution of 1917. Violence and harsh methods used by the Bolsheviks inspired feared and rejection among Americans. After the First World War, the US saw a social and political phenomenon known as the Red Scare. When the Cold War started, fears of communist penetration and influence spread, as the global rivalry with the Soviet Union evolved. Many leftists and liberals were suspected of being Soviet spies. It was another Red Scare. In the 1950s, senator Joseph McCarthy led a campaign to find Soviet spies or sympathizers that had a long impact in American politics.
