Question

what was true about the russian revolution?
a. it restored a monarchy.
b. it caused a decrease in immigration to the united states.
c. it caused a fear of foreign influence in the united states.
d. it resulted in a world financial crisis.

Explanation:

• Option A: The Russian Revolution (1917) overthrew the monarchy (Tsarist regime) and led to the rise of Soviet socialism, so it did not restore a monarchy.
• Option B: The Russian Revolution and subsequent political upheaval in Europe actually led to an increase in immigration to the US (especially from Eastern Europe), not a decrease.
• Option C: The Russian Revolution established a communist state, which stoked fears of communist (foreign, radical) influence in the US, contributing to the Red Scare.
• Option D: The Russian Revolution did not directly result in a world financial crisis; major financial crises like the Great Depression had different causes.

Answer:

C. It caused a fear of foreign influence in the United States.
