In the 1940 's and 1950 's, an anti-Communist movement swept the United States of America. Fueled by the anti-Communist actions of Congress, particularly a Senator from Wisconsin by the name of Joseph McCarthy, the movement escalated and many people lost their jobs as a result of various blacklists. Congressional hearings, both in front of HUAC and McCarthy Senate committee were a study in organized persecution. The actions taken during the "Red Scare" were eventually given the general name McCarthyism.

Red Scare panic and hysteria began in 1919-1920’s after WWI. Thanks to the Red Scare, the American public became paranoid and suspicious of everyone from Communist Russian. In some cases, neighbors would report neighbors as being Communist spies just because they did not like their neighbor.

The 9/11 tragedy was a moment where people had their guard up at all times. This was a time where life had strike to reality of time warfare with every person and country. Couldn’t trust no one that came to the U.S. America is the land of the free and the home of the brave, were brave because the generations before us had to face what had happened and to what is going to happen. This had left the buildings torn instantly killing hundreds of many people, getting them stuck in the higher floors.

The causes of the Red Scare was a major deal going on back in the day. Around that time World War 1 Americans was vulnerable and scared. They had many workers joining major unions. Polices was going on strike in September in 1919 even though they wanted to contribute fears. They led many immigrants from Russia to attend the United States Government.
The Cold War did occur after WWII between the United States and The Soviet Union at the time of President Ronald Reagan administration. The Soviet union and its government had the ideology of spreading communism around the world. The United States was against communism and this why the country went to war with Vietnam. "Containment" was the ultimate goal by the U.S. to preventing communism from happen worldwide. My perception of the Cold War and the War on Terror is due to the lack of the United States government to understanding other countries language, culture and way of life.

This was a prominent belief towards communism since it held tremendous amounts of power and influence across the world. This was the main focus of U.S. Foreign policy as country after country would be consumed and transformed into a communist state (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica). Such countries included East Germany, Ukraine, Sweden, Poland, and many others which were also adjacent towards one another (The Editors of Encyclopædia). Southeast Asia was the next target with the Korean War being fought over the Communist takeover over all of Korea. One by one other Southeastern countries fell towards the communist power, finally prompting the United States to take action to preventing further spread all across Asia.
Specifically, Russia and China favored communism while the United States defended a democratic approach in government. Furthermore, Russia and China aimed to spread communism beyond their borders and install it in other countries as well while the United Sates were devoted to containing the spread of communism at all costs. With the rise of the Cold War, Russia and China wanted to work towards their overall objective by extending communism into not only North Korea, but South Korea as well. The United States (along with the United Nations) reacted to this effort by also staying true to their objective and attempted to prevent North Korea and its communist supporters from forcing South Korea to convert to being a communist regime as well. This effort was justified behind and supported by the “domino effect theory” presented by President Eisenhower which predicted that if communism was not contained as early as possible, it would quickly lead to the rapid spread of the communist regime and neighboring states will continue to be taken with ease.
In both events of Pearl Harbor and 9/11 had a damaging effect on our country. We were terrified and frightened for what could happen next.
