The American Revolution of 1925 was a period of extreme political turmoil and social unrest that swept through the United States, involving strike action, mass protest, anti-government activity, and military mutiny. It resulted in the severe decay of relations between the United States government and its citizens.

Causes

Move away from the Right

As anti-German sentiment grew with the United States' entrance into World War I, right-wing politics began to be associated with the Germany and the Central Powers. The anti-German fever pushed American politics away from the right side of the political spectrum. This would later help the development and progress of the labor movement.

Socialist Russia

In Russia, Prime Minister Leon Trotsky implemented reforms intended to establish his form of socialism in Russia. These reforms were highly successful by raising the standard of living, bringing a feudal society into the industrial age, lessening the wealth gap between the rich and poor, and spreading democracy across a formerly autocratic nation. For a large portion of American people, particularly of the middle class, Trotsky's Russia demonstrated socialism to be a successful ideology, leading to its support as an alternative to capitalism. As the labor movement grew, many people expressed their support, causing many labor unions to endorse this brand socialism and turn away to mobilization to gain those goals.

Labor movement

The labor movement in the United States had been growing movement since the end of World War I and the collapse of the Great Steel Strike of 1919 and Seattle General Strike. The growth of labor unions and left wing organizations lead many people to support workers demands when they went on strike. Consequently, the suppression of these strikes was criticized widely by public opinion and it gave growing support for labor unions. As people's support for organized labor grew, suppression of strike action became increasingly more difficult. As strikes continued and crisis deepened of continued, socialism was seen as the solution. As socialist and communist groups became popular, many allied themselves with labor unions. This caused many citizens to view socialism as capable of fulfilling workers' demands and answer to the call of the labor movement.

Progressives and the American Left

In 1924, during his run for presidency, Robert M. La Follette Sr. recreated the Progressive Party. While he lost the election, many left-wing liberals in the Democratic Party began to abandon the party and joined the Progressives or establish their own groups. The Progressives prevented any one of the democratic and republican presidential candidates from receiving a clear majority, leading Calvin Coolidge to become president.

The party remained cohesive after the election and largely grew its support. It continually increased the popularity of left-wing politics, which inadvertently improved the public's view of left-wing organizations in general, such as the Socialist Party of America. In 1924, the Farmer-Labor Party was absorbed into the Progressive Party and the Proletarian Party was absorbed into the Socialist Labor Party. By the end of the year, the Progressive, Socialist and Socialist Labor Parties formed themselves into an electoral alliance: the Progressive-Socialist-Labor Alliance. This alliance became the forerunner of the American Workers' Association in 1928.
