-former u.s. treasury secretary william g. mcadoo, 1920
which term completes the excerpt?
a. league of nations
b. mandate system
c. bolshevik revolution
d. union of soviet socialist republics

Explanation:

The excerpt is from 1920, and the context is about a plan to limit military armament and prevent war. The League of Nations was established after WWI to promote peace and disarmament. The Mandate system was about governing former colonial territories, the Bolshevik Revolution was a 1917 Russian revolution, and the USSR was formed later (1922). So the term that fits is League of Nations.

Answer:

A. League of Nations
