The rash of strikes during 1919 were mainly due to the aftermath of World War I, and problems with labor and union power struggles. The Great Steel Strike was the most widely-spread strike. Other strikes in 1919 were the Seattle General Strike, Barcelona Revolutionary Strike, Dutch Steel Workers Strike, and the General Steel Strike in France.
The wave strikes of 1919 were caused by widespread labor unrest and grievances among dockworkers, shipyard workers, and seamen in various port cities in the United States. These strikes were fueled by low wages, long working hours, poor working conditions, and a desire for better treatment and union recognition. The strikes led to significant disruptions in the shipping industry and raised awareness about the labor movement's struggles for better rights and conditions.
In 1919, the mass strike of Amalgamated Steelworkers and other unions followed World War I and the rise of Communism in the Soviet Union. In this environment, the labor disputes were often blamed on foreign radicals and/or communists.

Many Americans in 1919 believed that the labor strikes were influenced or orchestrated by radical groups, particularly communists and anarchists. The post-World War I period was marked by heightened fears of socialism and Bolshevism, fueled by the Russian Revolution. This led to suspicions that the strikes were part of a broader revolutionary agenda aimed at undermining American democracy and capitalism. As a result, public sentiment often turned against the striking workers, viewing them as threats to social order.
