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 lead to the creation of workers' councils through the passing of the 20th Amendment and 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 1, 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. However, American politics was not pushed to the left, as many Americans continued to oppose left-wing countries such as Russia. This attitude later changed as strike action started up following the end of the war, this attitude changed.

Progressives

In 1924, during his run for presidency, Robert M. La Follette Sr. recreated the Progressive Party. While he lost the election, many liberals in the Democratic Party abandoned the party and joined the Progressives. The Progressives prevented any one candidate from receiving a 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. By 1925, the Farmer-Labor Party was absorbed into the Progressive Party and the Progressives had gained the support of the Socialist Party.

Labor movement

The Labor Movement in the United States had been growing movement since the end of World War 1 and the collapse of the Great Steel Strike of 1919 and Seattle General Strike. The growth of labor unions and popularization of left-wing politics lead many citizens to support workers when they went on strike. As citizen support for organized labor grew, suppression of strike action became increasingly more difficult. Socialism began to began to be seen in a positive light, as an alternative to capitalism. As strike action continued, socialism was seen as the solution. As socialist groups become popular, many allied themselves with labor unions. This caused many citizens to view socialism as the ally of the working class, and thus cable of fulfilling workers' demands.
