The Red Scare in the United States was largely initiated after World War I, driven by fears of communism and anarchism following the Russian Revolution of 1917. It intensified in 1919 with events like the Palmer Raids, led by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, who sought to root out radical leftists and anarchists. The fear of socialist and communist influences, along with labor unrest and Immigration, further fueled the hysteria during this period.
