b. the united states fought on russias side.
c. president roosevelt convinced britain to stay neutral.
d. the united states fought on japans side.

Explanation:

To determine the US involvement in the Russo - Japanese War, we analyze each option:

• Option A: President Theodore Roosevelt mediated the Treaty of Portsmouth in 1905, which ended the Russo - Japanese War. This is historically accurate.
• Option B: The US did not fight on Russia's side. The US was neutral in terms of direct combat.
• Option C: There is no historical basis for Roosevelt convincing Britain to stay neutral in this context. Britain had its own reasons and was not convinced by Roosevelt in this way.
• Option D: The US did not fight on Japan's side. The US was not a combatant for either side.

Answer:

A. President Roosevelt helped negotiate peace.
