Question

which statement about americas reaction to the russian revolution is true?
most americans embraced the ideals of the new communist state.
many americans feared that communism might spread to the united states.
most americans believed that events in russia would have no impact on america.
many americans volunteered to go to russia to fight against the tsar.

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about America’s reaction to the Russian Revolution, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect because the new communist state (USSR) had ideals (like socialism/communism) that clashed with American capitalist values, so “embracing” is wrong.
• The second option is correct. After the Russian Revolution, there was a “Red Scare” in the US, with widespread fear that communist ideology (and its associated revolutions) might spread to the United States, leading to social unrest and challenges to capitalism.
• The third option is incorrect. Events in Russia (e.g., the Revolution, rise of communism) had significant impacts on America (e.g., Red Scare, changes in foreign policy, domestic politics).
• The fourth option is incorrect. The tsar was overthrown in the February Revolution (1917), and later conflicts in Russia involved opposing the Bolsheviks (not the tsar). Also, few Americans volunteered to fight in Russia; the US sent limited military forces for specific, short - term reasons (not widespread volunteering).

Answer:

The option "Many Americans feared that communism might spread to the United States." (the second option in the list)
