During the late 1940s, several news events, such as the trial of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg for treason, the acquisition of an atomic bomb by the Soviet Union, and the beginning of Korean War, caught the public attention. These events had a noticeable effect on the opinions of Americans in general regarding their own security, and made people concerned about the inevitable nuclear war with the Soviet Union. The belief of communist spies were constantly working to bring the downfall of the United States was widespread as well. The anti-Communists used actions by the Soviet Union and China as evidence of the evil of Communism, the Soviet Union had rapidly and forcefully spread its influence into Eastern Europe following the Second World War.
