Answer:

The end of the war brought a rise in unemployment that resulted in increased labor unrest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term Red Scare denotes two distinct periods of strong anti-communism in the United States: the First Red Dread, from 1917 to 1920, and the Second Red Dread, from 1947 to 1957. The First Red Dread was about the revolution was also called (socialist) worker and political radicalism. The Second Red Dread centered on an intense suspicion about communists (nationals and foreigners) who influenced society or who infiltrated the United States Government or both.
