Question

question 5 of 18
which of these events took place during the same time period as world war i and helped president wilson convince americans that the united states needed to go to war against germany in order to make the world \safe for democracy\?

a. chinese revolution

b. russian revolution

c. spanish revolution

d. french revolution

Explanation:

World War I occurred 1914–1918. The Russian Revolution (1917) happened during this period. President Wilson framed U.S. entry into WWI as defending democracy against autocratic powers like Germany; the Russian Revolution’s shift (though later Bolshevik takeover) initially aligned with democratic ideals, supporting Wilson’s "safe for democracy" narrative. Other options: Chinese Revolution (1911, pre-WWI), Spanish Revolution (1930s, post-WWI), French Revolution (1789, much earlier) do not match the timeframe.

Answer:

B. Russian Revolution
