c it was one of the only revolutions of the 20th century to completely get rid of its monarchy.
d it had roots in events preceding it by about 25 years, with even farther - reaching consequences.

Explanation:

• Option A: The most violent war of the 20th century was World War II, not directly started by the Russian Revolution, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: The Russian Revolution was a result of long - term social, economic, and political issues, not just the support of a strongman and happening overnight, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Many 20th - century revolutions, like the Chinese Revolution, also got rid of their monarchies (or imperial systems), so this is not a unique feature of the Russian Revolution, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: The Russian Revolution had roots in events like the 1905 Revolution (about 12 years before, but the idea of long - term preceding events and far - reaching consequences like the establishment of the Soviet Union which had global impacts is correct). The Russian Revolution was influenced by earlier unrest and had consequences that lasted for decades and affected global politics, economics, and social structures.

Answer:

D. It had roots in events preceding it by about 25 years, with even farther - reaching consequences.
