The end of WWI was a time of turmoil for America. As wartime agreements preventing unions from striking ended, strikes erupted across the nation. On top of this were foreign issues that stemmed into America. The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia turned an ally during most of WWI into a percieved enemy. A Red Scare, or a period of intense fear of communism, took place during the years 1919 to 1920. Spurred by bombings, conspiracies, and strikes, the Palmer raids arrested thousands of U.S. citizens and immigrants under the suspicion of communist ties.
