—telegram from tsar nicholas ii to german kaiser wilhelm ii, 1914
what evidence from the telegram supports the tsars point of view about the coming war?
× the suggestion that the war is immoral
○ the statement that he will soon be forced to act
○ the fact that he and the kaiser are friends
○ the plea to stop the allies from going ahead

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the telegram and options:

• The tsar's view on the war: He sees it as ignoble (immoral) against a weak country, is outraged, and wants to avoid it. The plea to stop allies from going too far ("To try and avoid...beg you...stop your allies from going too far") directly supports his view that the war is unjust and should be averted, aligning with his perspective on the coming war.
• Other options: "the statement that he will soon be forced to act" is about his own actions, not supporting his view on the war itself; "the fact that he and the kaiser are friends" is about their relationship, not the war's nature; the crossed - out option "the suggestion that the war is immoral" is part of his view but the plea to stop allies is more direct evidence of his stance on the coming war.

Answer:

the plea to stop the allies from going ahead
