When were other witch trials?
Witch trials aside from Salem occurred sporadically throughout Europe and the American colonies in the Middle Ages. They included a spattering of trials in Massachusetts and Connecticut from 1648 until 1688 with the afflictions of the Goodwin children. The Salem panic and the ensuing embarassment ended the witch hunting in America. In Europe, the Pendle trials in Lancashire, England, in 1612 and the many German trials in the time period were the most significant. Pinning down the exact end of the witch hunts in Europe is not as concrete as in America, but the Enlightenment is a factor.

What is The Crucible?
The Crucilbe is a play written by Arthur Miller in the 1950s, as an answer to the McCarthyism that was in control of America at the time. The play is based on the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. The story is based around John Proctor, an upstanding man whose wife and friends are accused of witchcraft. He goes to court to stand up for them and in the end is named a witch himself. He is hanged as he refuses to confess to speaking with the Devil, as he truly did not. "The Crucible" is a play written by Arthur Miller. It was written around the time of the Communist "witch hunts" going on around Hollywood. Miller uses the Salem with hunts/trials as pretty much a symbol for the Communist "witch hunts". The names are accurate, and a few events are....but a few are not. I'd consider it a work of historical-fiction.The word "crucible" means a test, or a trial. A harsh, severe one. Like the Salem witch hunts/trials. In the middle ages a Crucible was a container that could hold molten metal. Thus, it had been "tested" and found strong enough to withstand extremely high temperatures.
Were there other witch trials in places other then Salem?
There were witch trials all over Europe long before Salem was stolen colonized. The burnings of which you hear happened only in Scotland and continental Europe. In England and Ireland, they went with the more 'humane' method of hanging, as they had already had their fun the people had suffered enough. EDIT: The Salem were not even the first in America. That title goes to a the trial of Alyse Young of Windsor, Connecticutt. Margaret Jones, of Boston, was the first tried in Massachusetts.
