Explanation:

For Station 1, Question 1: The Russian Revolution of 1917 (specifically the Bolshevik Revolution) established a communist government, spreading fear of communism globally, including in the US during the First Red Scare.
For Station 1, Question 2: The Palmer Raids targeted suspected radicals, especially anarchists, communists, and foreign - born individuals, as the government feared communist and radical uprisings.
For Station 2, Question 1: Sacco and Vanzetti were charged with robbery and murder (the robbery and murder of a paymaster and a guard in Massachusetts).
For Station 2, Question 2: Their "crime" was being immigrants (from Italy) and holding radical (anarchist) political views, which made them targets of suspicion and prejudice during the Red Scare era, rather than clear - cut guilt from the crime they were charged with (the evidence was controversial).
For Station 2, Question 3: The case shows that immigrants in 1920s America, especially those with radical or non - mainstream political views, were often treated unfairly. They faced prejudice, were targeted due to their ethnicity and political beliefs, and the justice system was influenced by nativist and anti - radical sentiments, leading to a lack of fair treatment.
