    The 1950s saw the rise of containment policies to stop the spread of communism in Europe and Asia, including the division of Germany and establishment of NATO. There was also a "Red Scare" in the US led by McCarthyism and HUAC investigations. Socially, there was pressure to conform to social norms exemplified by suburbs like Levittown and baby boomers being born, while consumerism grew due to economic prosperity in the postwar period. Tensions with the Soviet Union rose further during the decade, characterizing the emerging Cold War.
