Answer:

McCarthyism directly influenced the foreign policy of Eisenhower's Administration.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the era of McCarthyism, that went from 1950 to 1956 during the presidencies of Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower, thousands of Americans were accused of being communists or sympathizers of communists, and were subjected to aggressive investigations and hearings before government or private boards, panels, committees and agencies. The main target of these suspicions was employees in the state sector, the entertainment industry and trade union activists. Many people were left unemployed and their careers were ruined. Most of these penalties came after judgments subsequently abolished, laws that were subsequently declared unconstitutional, cancellation for reasons later pronounced as unlawful or allegations, or extrajudicial procedures that were subsequently considered wrong.
