。
D. A civil war broke out between a communist movement and a more democratic socialist movement.
D. A civil war broke out between a communist movement and a more democratic socialist movement
To determine the correct answer, let's break down each option and analyze the political consequences of the Russian Revolution:
A. Russia was able to help the Triple Entente defeat Germany in World War
This statement is not accurate. While the Russian Revolution did have an impact on Russia's involvement in World War I, it ultimately led to Russia's withdrawal from the war rather than actively aiding the Triple Entente (France, Britain, and later the United States) in their fight against Germany.
B. An alliance was formed between the US and the Soviet Union
This statement is also incorrect. The United States did not form an alliance with the Soviet Union immediately after the Russian Revolution. The Soviet Union, led by the Bolsheviks, faced hostility from Western countries due to their communist ideology, and it took several years before formal diplomatic relations were established.
C. Lenin was able to take control of the Russian government with little opposition
This statement is partly true. Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks did indeed manage to seize control of the Russian government in 1917 following the revolution. However, it is important to note that there was some opposition to their rule, most notably from anti-Bolshevik groups and the White Army during the subsequent Russian Civil War.
D. A civil war broke out between a communist movement and a more democratic socialist movement
This statement accurately describes one of the significant political consequences of the Russian Revolution. The revolution resulted in a power struggle between the Bolsheviks (communists) led by Lenin and various anti-Bolshevik and more moderate socialist groups. This conflict culminated in the Russian Civil War, which raged from 1918 to 1922. The war ultimately ended with the Bolsheviks establishing the Soviet Union as a communist state.
In light of the above analysis, the correct answer is D. A civil war broke out between a communist movement and a more democratic socialist movement.
