Red Scare" is the promotion of a widespread fear of a potential rise of communism or anarchism by a society or state.

The Palmer Raids were a series of raids conducted in November 1919 and January 1920 during the First Red Scare by the United States Department of Justice under the administration of President Woodrow Wilson to capture and arrest suspected leftists, mostly Italian and Eastern European immigrants and especially anarchists and communists, and deport them from the United States.

The term is most often used to refer to two periods in the history of the United States which are referred to by this name.
