Background The late 1940s and throughout the 1950s the United States was consumed with a fear of communism and the Soviet Union. A number of events added to the paranoia of the nation Koran War: June 1950- July 1953 Mao and the Communists taking control of China: 1949 Discovery of a few U.S. government agents who had betrayed government secrets: 1945 Republicans desire to attack Democrats

CONTINUED Growth of the Soviet Union Development of the atomic bomb by the Soviet Union

Pres. Truman’s response Truman was politically compelled to react to the “danger” and did so by creating the Loyalty Review Board. This opened the door politically to those who wanted to advance their philosophy and politics House Un-American Activities Committee: Hollywood Ten- 1947 McCarran Act 1950: overrode Truman’s veto

Government actions Major espionage cases McCarthyism: 1950-1954 Hiss: 1948 Rosenberg's: 1950 McCarthyism: 1950-1954 Tactics Effects Fall of Sen. McCarthy

LESSONS OF MCCARTHYISM Government officials can use fear and their power in order gain power Fear of the unknown or unfamiliar can produce a “chilling effect” on society The freedom to question government actions and individuals is vital to a open society
