the Cold War in many different ways. It led to another Red scare, search for spies, and nuclear fear. The Cold War at Home led to a Red scare threatened American values and ideas. This resulted in McCarthyism and continued the Cold War. The Red scare was the fear of soviet expansion and communist infiltration, which intensified the Cold War. “The Red Scare led to a range of actions that had a profound and enduring effect on U.S. government and society.” (http://www.history.com/topics/cold-war/red-scare)

Using spies to assist their case, however, might just send them into the next interval and conquest the whole thing. While fighting each other, these rivals had come to an astonishing discovery that using spies would support their own case and benefit them
The Film Noir, “The Third Man”, showed the evident effect that World War 2 had on people. Since this film was produced in 1949, after World War 2, it reflected the social fears and cultural changes that have plagued people during post war. Before the war, there was the ideology of the strong American family. This family portrayed strong values such as happiness, hardworking, and optimism. However during post war, there was a shade of darkness as fear, greed and evil lurking. ‘The Third Man’ portrayed
a result of a combined fear of communism and the fall of freedom from danger in Australian democracy and society. The growing web of communism saw the fall of many countries closing in on Australia and New Zealand, and it was believed Robert Menzies’ government that they would find communism at Australia’s shores. Australians were anti-communist during the Vietnam War; due to a level of hype that the society, the media, and the government were exposed to. The “domino effect” was a popular analogy
the Cold War inflicted fear and apprehension within the American people that was so overpowering that it affected every aspect of their lives and overall American culture. The biggest and most fervent effect of the Cold War on American culture was the state of anxiety that swept the nation. Americans have always harboured a fear of radicalism entering the country and destroying any parts of the government that give power to the people, but when the Cold War begun, this fear was immensely heightened
In 1945, after World War II had finished, Australia finally felt at peace – that was until Communism began to have an effect on the entire world. Australia had a lot to fear, with the threat likely to infiltrate the country both domestically (an established Communist Party) and internationally (a geographical location close to countries that had already fallen victim to communism, such as China and Korea). Australia responded to both of these threats in a way that caused a lot of political controversy

Through decryptions, trials and investigations these threats were justified because of the Venona project, the project was a secret organization that gathered and decrypted messages from soviet military agency in 1940s, and the HUAC. From the late 1930s to late 1950s the HUAC took initial steps to find communists and spies in the United States. The House Un- Americans Activities

McCarthy was in fear that there were communist spies in the U.S.; in the end, only a few people turned out to be spies for the Soviet Union, but others were unfairly accused. In an article written by volunteers of the Cold War Museum, it says, “Another victim of McCarthy’s spurious communist accusations was Drew Pearson
population grew, and the effects of the First World War. Firstly, cultural differences are easily argued to have been the greatest cause of fear in America towards immigrants. Many immigrants had been sold the idea that America was a 'Melting Pot' of cultures, but upon arriving in America, they'd realise this was not the case. Second, another fear of immigrants was the idea that the newly migrated citizens would be left -wing and socialists. Americans at the time feared spies, in particular Russian
Americans today. Despite being described as completely unique and distinguished events, they both are eerily similar in appearance. The Salem Witch Trials and McCarthyism are both described as witch hunts with several similarities in the way the inspired fear but they have several differences in the motivation and the end of each event. The Salem Witch Trials is know for its hunt of supposed witches. The occurrence first began with the appearance of certain symptoms in a little girl, Betty Parris. The
