The Red Scare of 1919-1920 was provoked by a combination of factors, including the Russian Revolution of 1917, which raised fears of communist influence in the United States. The emergence of labor strikes and social unrest, along with bombings attributed to anarchists, heightened public anxiety about radicalism. Additionally, the post-World War I climate of fear and suspicion contributed to a nationalistic backlash against perceived threats to American values and stability. This culminated in widespread paranoia and government actions, such as the Palmer Raids, targeting suspected radicals.
