654 Questions
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.

What factors contributed to the red scare?
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.
How did the second red scare end?
The Second Red Scare, which peaked in the late 1940s and early 1950s, began to decline by the mid-1950s as public sentiment shifted. This change was largely due to the exposure of the excesses of McCarthyism, highlighted by televised hearings and the eventual censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy in 1954. Additionally, growing concerns about civil liberties and the overreach of anti-communist measures contributed to a backlash against the fervent anti-communist atmosphere. By the late 1950s, the intensity of the Red Scare had significantly waned, leading to a more subdued approach to anti-communism.

Your mom caused the red scare!
The red scare in the US immediately following world war 1 was a reaction to?
The red scare took place after WW2 and it was a reaction to the expansion of Russia into the eastern country's of Europe and the victory of Communist forces in china. However the reaction was in fact to the social policy's that were being implemented in western Europe where citizens were putting into place social welfare policy's that were unacceptable to the power lobby's in the USA propeganda equated social welfare with the policy's of these dictatorships in order to direct American taxpayers money into their coffers. Today the defence industry makes less of a proportion than they used to but the insurance industry has taken over.
The first major factor was the end of World War II. Russia had shown its dominance during the war and America was worried about its power.
Yes
Edit:
Wrong answer the answer is NO, you can see in s01e02 that the third one is fake, when the beat the man in the car he has drop the hat, and when they change camera he all of a sudden got a hat again. So it's a definitely a fake show.
Yeah, they add special effects, and the people always play along...they're actors.
What was the results of the red scare?
There were two general periods known as the Red Scare. The first was shortly after the Russian Revolution that created the USSR. This was from 1917 to 1920. The activity of socialist and "workers" groups led many to fear a similar uprising in the US and the West. Germany experienced this near the end of World War I, and it was a factor in their defeat in the war.
The so-called Palmer Raids of 1919 and 1920 sought to deport radical leftists and anarchists from the US. Some of these groups had used bombings and killing to support their attacks on the government.
As late as 1940, the US Government began prosecuting socialists under the Smith Act.
The second "Red Scare" followed World War II and was part of the Cold War from around 1947 to 1954. Many in the US feared that the Soviets would be strong enough to take over the US, and worried that communist infiltrators were already working to undermine the government. This sparked the activities of Senator Joseph McCarthy in the early 1950's, along with similar actions by the House Un-American Activities Committee that jailed the Hollywood Ten for refusing to name others in the film industry who were supposedly communist party members.
Those ten, and many others, were shunned (blacklisted) by the entertainment industry for fear that Congress would pass onerous regulations.
Books that were labeled by the McCarthy camp as communist Propaganda were removed from the official libraries of the US overseas.
Congress successfully overrode the Truman veto in passing the McCarran Internal Security Act of 1950, which gave the US broad powers to act against supposed spies and security risks. Most of the provisions were later repealed, as many were deemed unconstitutional, such as "preventive detention" of suspects and revocation of passports.
