It originated in the United States during the early 20th century, but it can also be applied to the overthrow of the Czarist regime in Russia. The Russian Revolution, led by the Bolsheviks, resulted in the establishment of a socialist government and the end of the Czarist regime. This event caused concern and fear among many conservative and capitalist nations, leading to the term "Red Scare" being used to describe the overthrow of the Czarist regime.

The most likely reason that Sacco and Vanzetti were charged with murder and sentenced to the death penalty was the nativist attitude towards foreigners.

Both factors played a significant role in shaping the events and actions that occurred.

Italy is the correct answer because it is the only option given that indicates a significant drop in immigration amounts. The other countries listed (Canada, Poland, and Britain) do not provide any information about changes in immigration levels, so they cannot be considered as the correct answer.

During the time period when the United States limited immigration, nativists believed that immigrants should not be allowed because there were no jobs available. They argued that allowing more immigrants into the country would further increase competition for jobs, resulting in unemployment and economic instability. This perspective gained traction as the country faced economic challenges and high levels of unemployment. Nativists sought to protect the interests of American workers and preserve job opportunities for them by advocating for restrictions on immigration.

Following the strike, the coal miners were able to achieve a shorter day. This means that their working hours were reduced, allowing them more time for rest and personal activities.

Immigrants did not enter the oil drilling industry. This is because during the time period being referred to, which is not specified in the question, immigrants were not heavily involved in the oil drilling industry. Immigrants were more commonly found in industries such as coal mining, US steel production, and textiles, where there was a higher demand for labor.

General Palmer implemented The Palmer Raids to gain support for his presidency. The Palmer Raids were a series of raids conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice in the early 1920s to target and arrest suspected radical leftists and anarchists. By cracking down on these groups, Palmer aimed to portray himself as a strong leader who could protect the country from the perceived threat of communism. This strategy was intended to rally public support and boost his political standing.
