McCarthyism came to Hollywood in the 1950s when Senator Joseph McCarthy began accusing government employees and Hollywood figures of being communists. The House Un-American Activities Committee interrogated individuals in Hollywood, asking about their involvement with the Communist Party and forcing them to name others. Those named were blacklisted in the industry. McCarthyism eventually declined after McCarthy began investigating the U.S. Army and committed suicide, but the blacklist continued and many in Hollywood had to deny being communists to continue working.

McCarthyism Comes to Hollywood summarizes the impact of McCarthyism on the film industry in Hollywood during the 1950s. Senator Joseph McCarthy began accusing government employees of being communists. The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) then started investigating Hollywood for communist influence. Individuals were called before HUAC and forced to name others or be blacklisted from the film industry. Many prominent Hollywood figures like Edward G. Robinson and Elia Kazan were among the victims of McCarthyism in Hollywood. The anti-communist witch hunt eventually ended when President Eisenhower opposed McCarthy over accusations against the army, though fear of communism continued.
McCarthyism
After WWII and during the 1940s-1950s, Joseph McCarthy took advantage of American fears about communism. He developed a list of around 200 government employees he claimed were communist infiltrators. Many people were accused of being communists, including government officials, writers, and entertainers. Their careers were often destroyed. McCarthyism led to paranoia and hysteria before beginning to decline in 1954 when McCarthy died in 1957. It showed how susceptible people can be to accusations and suspicion.

Unit 5 lesson 4 the cold war at home
During the Cold War, fear of communism spreading to the United States led to a period known as the Red Scare. President Truman and Congress took actions to investigate and crack down on suspected communist activities and influences within the country. This included the House Un-American Activities Committee holding hearings to investigate areas of society for communist ties. Figures like Alger Hiss and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were prosecuted for communist espionage. Senator Joseph McCarthy further exacerbated tensions by aggressively accusing many Americans of being communist sympathizers without proof, in what became known as McCarthyism. His actions were eventually discredited through televised hearings, helping to ease the Red Scare period in the United States.
The Cold War at Home
Two key factors that contributed to the "witch hunts" of the 1950s in the US were the fear of communism stemming from Soviet domination in Eastern Europe and the communist takeover in China. This led to investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee and Senator Joseph McCarthy's accusations of communist infiltration in the US government. Many people were blacklisted or imprisoned due to being accused of communist sympathies, including the Hollywood 10, Alger Hiss who was convicted of perjury, and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who were executed for spying. McCarthyism led to irrational intolerance before McCarthy's downfall for bullying tactics.

It describes how fears of communist subversion and infiltration led to investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee. Notable examples included investigations into the film industry that blacklisted the "Hollywood Ten" and Senator Joseph McCarthy's accusations of communists in the government without clear evidence. The period saw intensified fears of communism and efforts to root out perceived communist threats that some argue went too far.
Cold war-1945-1960
The Cold War began after WWII as the US and USSR emerged as rival superpowers. Stalin installed communist governments in Eastern Europe and blocked access to West Berlin, leading to the Berlin Airlift. NATO and the Warsaw Pact were formed as military alliances. China became communist under Mao Zedong and the US investigated suspected communist influence through committees like HUAC and McCarthyism. Tensions escalated as both sides developed nuclear weapons and started the Space Race.
The Cold War at Home
As Cold War tensions rose, the United States experienced a period known as the Red Scare where there was widespread fear that communists were infiltrating American society. This led President Truman and the House of Representatives to take aggressive actions to investigate and crack down on suspected communist activities and influences within the government, education system, media, and other institutions. Figures like Joseph McCarthy exploited these fears by falsely accusing Americans of being communist sympathizers, destroying careers and civil liberties through tactics known as McCarthyism until his downfall.

1947- goal to discredit Roosevelt and Truman, associate their adminsitrations with communism. Global cold war will make accusations of communism a useful threat against political enemies. A global threat – communism- framed as an ideaological battle of good v evil will translate in American culture to a suppression of civil liberties and associations of anything deemed subversice as “communism.” this will come to include anti-nuclear protests, mixed race youth groups, lgbtq people existing, atheism, modern art, avante garde films, labor unions.
Background
Worry about infiltration of the United States by subversive elements first emerged in the 1930s, when it was believed that German agents were spreading Nazi propaganda through the country. Congress responded in 1934 by forming a Special Committee on Un-American Activities, which held hearings, issued a report, and quietly disbanded in 1935. In 1938 it was reconstituted as the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC), chaired by Texas Democrat Martin Dies. While this committee was charged with investigating pro-fascist groups, as well as hate organizations like the Ku Klux Klan, Dies chose to focus instead on suspicions that, thanks to the New Deal, members of the Communist Party had managed to infiltrate a number of federal agencies.
Because the United States and the Soviet Union were allies during World War II, HUAC remained fairly quiet during the war years, but in 1946 it became a permanent standing committee, charged with investigating any individual or group that challenged "the form of government guaranteed by our Constitution." Then, after Republicans won majorities in both houses of Congress in the 1946 elections, the committee began to examine federal employees who were allegedly attracted to communism, and who had promoted policies favorable to the Soviet Union.
One of the most famous episodes in HUAC's history was its investigation of Hollywood. In this case the committee looked into the production of certain films during World War II that had created an overly-positive image of life in the Soviet Union. A number of prominent Hollywood figures, including studio executives, movie stars, and screenwriters, were called to testify in 1947. When some of these refused to answer questions about their communist affiliations, or refused to identify others who were suspected of being communists, ten of them—soon dubbed the "Hollywood Ten"—were charged and convicted of contempt of Congress. Eventually as a result of these hearings some 300 directors, actors, and screenwriters found that they had been "blacklisted" by the motion picture industry; that is, the studios agreed not to hire them. Some, like Charlie Chaplin, left the country; some screenwriters continued to work under false names.
However, HUAC also dealt with offenses of a more serious nature. In an executive session of .

Lesson 8 - IOTBS Context 1
The document provides background information on the 1950s American film Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the sociopolitical context in which it was produced. It discusses how the film has been interpreted as an allegory for 1950s America and themes of paranoia and loss of identity.

The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) subpoenaed many in Hollywood for suspected Communist propaganda. This led to a Hollywood blacklist of around 500 people. Senator Joseph McCarthy falsely accused many Americans of Communist ties without evidence, fueling widespread fears in a period known as McCarthyism.
Mc Carthyism And The Red Scare
McCarthyism and the Red Scare led many Americans to fear communists during the Cold War era of tension with the Soviet Union. Senator Joseph McCarthy claimed that 205 communists worked in the state department without evidence, using bold tactics to accuse people like Charlie Chaplin and Samuel Mostel. While thousands were arrested in raids like the Palmer Raids, most were detained without trial and no communist revolution occurred as claimed. Eventually, the Red Scare was viewed as a hoax as the predicted revolution never materialized.
HUAC
The document summarizes the Hollywood Blacklist period in the 1940s-1950s when the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) investigated Hollywood for alleged communist influence.
