The main cause of the Red Scare of the 1920s was widespread fear of communism and anarchism in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917, which led to concerns about the potential spread of socialist ideas in the United States. This fear was exacerbated by labor strikes, bombings, and political unrest, which many attributed to radical leftist movements. The government responded with aggressive measures, including the Palmer Raids, aimed at deporting suspected radicals and suppressing dissent. Overall, the Red Scare reflected a broader anxiety about social change and the perceived threat to American ideals.
