Question

Under whose administration did the first red scare occur?
A. Dwight D. Eisenhower
B. General Douglas MacArthur
C. The Rosenbergs
D. Woodrow Wilson

Answer 1

D. Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson was the President of the US during the time of the Russian Revolution that began in 1917 which eventually spurred the creation of the USSR a few years later.

The "worker's revolution" scared a number of powerful people back in the US who feared the same thing, so they began their own witch hunt to root out any potential seeds.
