The Red Scare after World War I occurred due to widespread fear of communism and anarchism, exacerbated by the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the emergence of labor strikes in the United States. Many Americans associated these movements with radical political ideologies that threatened democracy and capitalism. The rise of the Bolshevik regime in Russia fueled paranoia about a potential communist uprising, leading to government crackdowns on suspected radicals and immigrants. This climate of fear was further intensified by events like the Palmer Raids, which targeted leftist groups and individuals.
