J Edgar Hoover used the political views of government workers against them.

Hoover, who was the head of the FBI, greatly feared communist influence with the American government. This is why Hoover used his power to spy on workers in the government to learn more about their political beliefs.

Along with this, Hoover encouraged people like Joe McCarthy to pursue suspected communists by putting them on trial in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee. This congressional body called in people from all walks of life to question their political views and ties to the Soviet Union. All of the aforementioned actions helped to increase the paranoia during the Second Red Scare.

A violent incident occurred in India on April 13, 1919. It involved a British military commander ordering his forces to open fire on peaceful protesters. This incident sparked an international outrage. The incident was called the Amritsar Massacre.

The Amritsar massacre was a massacre in the city of Amritsar on April 13, 1919, when soldiers of the British Indian Army commanded by General Reginald Dyer machine-gunned a crowd of thousands of unarmed Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims people, who were gathered in the Jallianwala garden for the Vaisakhi festival.

The massacre permanently marked the relations between India and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, being historically the prelude to the non-cooperation movement led by Mahatma Gandhi between 1920 and 1922.
