There would probably have been a hot one. World War 3 if the the communists wished to start one. But without atomic weapons, it would have been a world war fought looking very much like the Korean War did; jets against jets, etc.


The palmer raids following war world 1 were caused by fear of?

The Palmer Raids following World War I were caused by fear of Communists, anarchists, socialists and other leftists. This fear had been present in the U.S. for decades but it was greatly heightened by the Communist overthrow of their government in Russia during the war as well as a general strike and other labor unrest and an increased number of violent acts by leftists here in the U.S. The Palmer Raids were a government action, but the fear of Communists was widespread among the people during this time of the "Red Scare".
