    Which nation was NOT a member of the Triple Entente?

    • Belgium

    • Great Britain

    • Russia

    • France

    Correct Answer
    A. Belgium
    Explanation
    Belgium was not a member of the Triple Entente. The Triple Entente was an alliance formed in 1907 between France, Russia, and Great Britain. Its purpose was to counterbalance the Triple Alliance, which consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Belgium was not a member of either alliance and remained neutral during World War I until it was invaded by Germany in 1914.

  • 3. 

    Which member of the Triple Alliance fought on the side of the Triple Entente?

    • The Ottoman Empire.

    • Bulgaria

    • Austria-Hungary.

    • Italy

    Correct Answer
    A. Italy
    Explanation
    During World War I, the Triple Alliance consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. However, Italy eventually switched sides and joined the Triple Entente (composed of France, Russia, and Britain) in 1915. Italy's decision to switch sides was motivated by territorial ambitions and promises of territorial gains from the Allies. Therefore, Italy is the correct answer as it fought on the side of the Triple Entente.

    The MAIN purpose of propoganda in the war was to

    • Frighten the enemy.

    • Sway world opinion.

    • Stir up patriotism.

    • Sell more papers.

    Correct Answer
    A. Stir up patriotism.
    Explanation
    Propaganda during war is primarily used to stir up patriotism among the population. By promoting nationalistic sentiments, the government aims to unite the citizens, boost morale, and encourage support for the war effort. This can be achieved through various means, such as disseminating patriotic messages, glorifying the nation's achievements, and demonizing the enemy. While frightening the enemy and swaying world opinion can be secondary objectives of propaganda, the main purpose is to foster a sense of pride, loyalty, and dedication to one's country. Selling more papers, although potentially beneficial for media outlets, is not the primary goal of wartime propaganda.

    • Trained Russian workers to become a revolutionary force.

    • Supported the Mensheviks.

    • Planned for a Russian government with a czar and parliament.

    • Continued the war against Germany.

    Correct Answer
    A. Trained Russian workers to become a revolutionary force.
    Explanation
    Lenin believed that the social reforms in Russia might not progress as quickly as Marx predicted. To ensure the success of the revolution, Lenin's leaders trained Russian workers to become a revolutionary force. This suggests that Lenin saw the workers as the driving force behind the revolution and believed that they needed to be organized and prepared to bring about the desired social changes.

    • All of the countries involved in WWI except Bulgaria.

    • All of the countries involved in WWI except Italy.

    • All of the countries involved in WWI.

    • Only some of the countries involved in WWI.

    Correct Answer
    A. Only some of the countries involved in WWI.
    Explanation
    The Paris Peace Conference was attended by only some of the countries involved in WWI. This is because not all countries were invited or chose to attend the conference. The major Allied powers, such as the United States, Britain, France, and Italy, were present at the conference, along with representatives from other countries involved in the war. However, countries like Bulgaria were not invited to participate in the negotiations.

    • Stripping countries of their colonies.

    • Refusing to seat a nation's representatives.

    • Imposing economic sanctions.

    • Using military force as a first resort.

    Correct Answer
    A. Imposing economic sanctions.
    Explanation
    The League of Nations could enforce decisions by imposing economic sanctions. Economic sanctions involve imposing trade barriers or restrictions on a country in order to pressure them into compliance with international agreements or resolutions. This method was often used by the League of Nations to discourage countries from engaging in aggressive or non-cooperative behavior. By imposing economic sanctions, the League aimed to economically isolate and weaken the targeted country, hoping that the resulting economic pressure would force them to comply with the League's decisions.

    • It gave up its power.

    • It refused to disband.

    • The army sided with the czar.

    • The people sided with the czar.

    Correct Answer
    A. It refused to disband.
    Explanation
    When the czar dissolved the Duma, it means that he officially ended the legislative body. In this context, "disband" refers to the act of breaking up or officially ending an organization or group. Therefore, the correct answer is "it refused to disband," indicating that the Duma did not willingly dissolve or end its existence when the czar made the decision to dissolve it.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    The terms of the armistice included

    • Replacing the kaiser with a new government.

    • Canceling the Treaty of Brest Litovsk.

    • Withdrawing troops from Russia.

    • Withdrawing troops from Paris.

    Correct Answer
    A. Canceling the Treaty of Brest Litovsk.
    Explanation
    The armistice mentioned in the question refers to the agreement that ended World War I. The Treaty of Brest Litovsk was a separate treaty signed between Germany and Russia in 1918, which ended Russia's involvement in the war. Therefore, canceling the Treaty of Brest Litovsk would be a logical term to include in the armistice agreement, as it would nullify the previous agreement and potentially affect the balance of power and territorial arrangements established by the treaty.
