Following the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and the establishment of the Soviet Union, the Communists made efforts to promote revolutions in Europe and the US. In 1919, President Wilson appointed A. Mitchell Palmer as his attorney-general. His attempts to root out the communists, anarchists, and other radicals became known as The Red Scare. Bombs were found by the US Post Office, addressed to prominent politicians and capitalists. An anarchist was blown up outside of Palmer's home. News was leaked to the press that the government was investigating important Americans and there was a belief that a radical overthrow of the government was in the works. Palmer enlisted the services of an attorney, J. Edgar Hoover, to help enforce provisions of the Espionage Act and the Sedition Act (1917/1918). A series of "Palmer Raids" were held in November, 1919, and thousands of anarchists, immigrants, and communists were rounded up.

Why did the red scare occur in the US?
It happened during the cold war because people were scared of communism and its spread across the world. The theme of the cold war was the prevention of the spread of communism, and many people thought that communism was spreading inside the US. The US was extremely paranoid about communism, which led to its involvement in Vietnam and many other wars. In a nut shell, Americans were so paranoid that they thought communism was spreading in their own country.
What was the role of the FBI in the red scare?
The FBI would take those under suspicion of being involved with the Soviets for questioning. They would come up with blacklists and worked to expose possible traitors and communist sympathisers. Furthermore, the FBI were partly responsible for triggering the Hollywood Red scare (lasting from 1947-1951). The Hollywood Red Scare was a huge clampdown on the content within media (in other words, media censorship) as the Soviets/communists had purportedly 'infiltrated Hollywood' and were influencing American media and mass culture.
Compare and contrast the red scare of the 1920s and the McCarthy era of the 1950s?
The Red Scare of the 1920s was primarily a reaction to the Bolshevik Revolution and the fear of communism infiltrating American society, leading to widespread paranoia and the Palmer Raids that targeted suspected radicals, especially immigrants. In contrast, the McCarthy era of the 1950s involved a more intense and personal campaign against alleged communists within the government and other sectors, fueled by Senator Joseph McCarthy's aggressive accusations and the broader context of the Cold War. While both periods were marked by fear and suppression of dissent, the McCarthy era was characterized by a more systematic and public witch-hunt, leading to significant damage to individuals' reputations and careers. Both episodes reflected a deep-seated anxiety about ideological threats, but the methods and societal impacts differed significantly.
