The Red Scare in the 1920s was characterized by widespread fear of communism and anarchism in the United States, primarily following the Russian Revolution of 1917. This period saw a surge in anti-communist sentiment, resulting in government actions such as the Palmer Raids, which targeted suspected radicals and led to thousands of arrests and deportations. The fear was fueled by labor strikes, social unrest, and the belief that foreign ideologies threatened American democracy. Overall, the Red Scare reflected a broader anxiety over social change and the perceived threat of leftist movements.
