Explanation:

• Question 25: After the Spanish - American War, the U.S. gained the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and had a significant influence over Cuba (though Cuba was nominally independent). Hawaii was annexed by the U.S. in 1898 through a joint resolution (not directly as a result of the Spanish - American War).
• Question 26: Totalitarianism is a form of government that controls all aspects of citizens' lives. Democracy is based on the will of the people, communism aims for a classless society with collective ownership (but not the same as total control over all aspects of life in the way totalitarianism is defined here), and a republic is a form of government where power is held by the people or their representatives.
• Question 27: The March Revolution (February Revolution in the Gregorian calendar) led to the abdication of Czar Nicholas II. The Treaty of Versailles was after World War I and related to Germany, the Boxer Rebellion was in China, and the Great Purge was under Stalin.
• Question 28: Stalin's "Great Purge" was mainly aimed at political enemies to consolidate his power. It was not specifically targeted at farmers (in a way distinct from political enemies) or peasants in general (many peasants were also caught up, but the main target was political), and it was an internal affair, not aimed at foreign governments.
• Question 29: The Industrial Revolution was characterized by increased machine production. It was not a period of economic depression (it brought economic growth in many ways), agricultural reform was more of a pre - condition or had some related changes but was not the main feature, and religious revival was not the main aspect of the Industrial Revolution.
