How did the US involvement in Southeast Asia impact the US political climate in the 1950s?

In: Politics and Government [Edit categories]

Answer:

Well it helped the red scare along if that helps any. people became severely anti-communist and those who ran for office had "ousted" some people as communists, or accused the person they were running against of either being communist or supporting communism. McCarthy, if you know him, used this trick (claiming certain government officials and public office holders were communists) to get great political power.
