What historians refer to as the <u>First Red Scare</u> occurred from 1919 to the early 1920s in the United States, following the Bolsvhevik Revolution which brought communism to power in Russia. The Bolsheviks (meaning "the Majority") were the communist faction that led a successful overthrow of the regime of the tsar in Russia in 1917. They weren't a "majority" in Russia, but they were the dominant group within the Russian communist movement. Civil war in Russia followed during the next years, from 1917 into the early 1920s, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1922. There was fear in the United States (as there was elsewhere in the world) that communism would begin to spread further, beyond Russia. Attorney General Mitchell Palmer used that fear as an excuse to arrest suspected radicals in the United States.
The more common reference to "The Red Scare" usually refers to what historically was the <u>Second Red Scare</u>, from the late 1940s to late 1950s in the United States. Following World War 2, as the Cold War developed and the Soviet Union was gathering allies, there was even greater fear -- and fear-mongering -- in the United States about the threat of communism. The Second Red Scare was when The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was created and when Senator Joseph McCarthy began a campaign of accusations against suspected communists in various sectors of American life.
The first major Red Scare in American history took place during the decade of the 1940s. This is defined that A "Red Scare" is promotion of widespread fear by a society or state about a potential rise of communism, anarchism, or radical leftism.

That's why it was necessary to create new states that weren't the former Mexican ones that would help balance out the power of the two factions. <span />

It would be at the First Battle of the Marne in the First World War that is also known as the Miracle of the Marne which results as an Allied victory and halted the German advance to conquer France and resulted to a trench warfare that would last for years. It is also a major turning point in the war because before the victory the Allied Forces we're in full retreat into Paris but after that battle it ensues a victory and a hope for Allied victory even though it would dragged for years.
