The event that had the greatest impact in creating the Red Scare was the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, which led to the establishment of a communist government in Russia. This instilled fear in the United States about the spread of communism and anarchism, particularly after a series of labor strikes and bombings, including the 1919 bombings attributed to anarchists. The heightened anxiety over perceived communist infiltration in American society was further fueled by the Palmer Raids, where government officials targeted suspected radicals. This combination of events created a pervasive atmosphere of fear and suspicion, marking the onset of the Red Scare in the early 20th century.
