The Red Scare during World War I was primarily fueled by widespread fear of communism and radical leftist movements, which gained prominence after the Russian Revolution of 1917. This fear was compounded by labor strikes and social unrest in the United States, leading to concerns that communist ideologies could infiltrate American society. Government actions, such as the Palmer Raids, reflected the heightened anxiety over perceived threats from both foreign and domestic radicals, resulting in a crackdown on dissent and civil liberties. The combination of wartime hysteria and the rise of socialist movements contributed to the intense paranoia of the era.
