During the 1950's, the threat of communism worldwide was quite a serious problem. The United states took steps to avoid this spread, using something called McCarthyism. This was an idea that was designed to help keep Communism from taking over anywhere in the world. McCarthy created many groups similar to NATO, that brought countries together, and overall kept them democratic. They had names such as ANZUS (Australia New Zealand United states protection group) as well as many other groups globally. Without these precautions taken to avoid the spread of Communism, it could have taken over much more of the world than it did, and the world could be a very different place.
