d. it brought previously inaccessible goods to the russian working class.

Explanation:

The Russian Revolution of 1917 overthrew the existing regime and established the world - first communist state, the Soviet Union. The alliance system for World War I was already in place before 1917. The Haitian Revolution was a successful slave revolt by a racial minority, not the Russian Revolution. While the revolution aimed to improve the working - class situation, its most significant global impact was the creation of the first communist state.

Answer:

B. It resulted in the creation of the world's first communist state.
