Which revolution started in Russia and contributed to Russia's withdrawal from World War I?

• A. Bolshevik Revolution
• B. French Revolution
• C. American Revolution
• D. Industrial Revolution

Answer: (A)

The event being tested is the revolution that began in Russia and led to its exit from World War I. The Bolshevik Revolution, which occurred in 1917, saw the Bolshevik Party seize power in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) and establish a government led by Lenin. This new leadership prioritized ending Russia’s involvement in the war, arguing for peace and changes at home. In March 1918, Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany, ceding territory but effectively removing Russia from WWI. That connection—a Russia-based overthrow that directly resulted in withdrawal from the war—is what makes this revolution the correct choice. The other revolutions did not start in Russia and did not cause Russia to pull out of WWI: the French Revolution began in France, the American Revolution began in the American colonies, and the Industrial Revolution started in Britain and spread globally, not as a Russia-specific event tied to Russia’s wartime withdrawal.
