The major events which sparked the red scare in the U.S. were the political takeovers of neighboring countries after World War II by the Soviet Union. These included many eastern European countries, such as Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. Thus, fear was spread in U.S. political and governmental circles, and the domino theory was born (namely that the Soviet Union would influence southeast Asian countries to become communist and perhaps, the rest of the world).
The events that led tot he "Red Scare" involved strikes that erupted across the US in 191 which in turn caused fear that communists or "reds" might seize power.
