The Red Scare of the 1920s was marked by widespread fear of communism and radical leftist ideologies following the Russian Revolution of 1917. It led to a series of government actions, including the Palmer Raids, where thousands of suspected radicals were arrested and deported without proper legal procedures. This period was characterized by heightened paranoia, anti-immigrant sentiments, and the suppression of civil liberties, as many Americans feared the spread of communism within the United States.
