Question

When was the Communist Party at its strongest in Hawaii? Directly before and after World War II. Only before World War II. During the Cold War. In the early 2000s.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B


Only before World War II

The great depression had led to the communist party appealing to several Americans, with its height being the administration of Hoover. The hoover administration, constrained by radical conservative policies could not do anything about the great depression, thus making communism appealing to some citizens. However, after the war, a series of crackdown against communist sympathizers was instituted.
