The 1919-1920 Red Scare in the U.S. was primarily prompted by the fear of communism and radical leftist ideologies following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. This period saw a rise in labor strikes and social unrest, which fueled public anxiety about the potential spread of socialist and anarchist movements. Additionally, the recent end of World War I and the associated economic turmoil heightened fears of domestic instability, leading to government crackdowns on suspected radicals, exemplified by the Palmer Raids.
