Answer 1

1. I am definitely sure that this option best describes NEP: C) It introduced some mild capitalist reforms to the new country while keeping other socialist programs. New Economic Policy was introduced by Lenin as a capitalism-oriented economic policy. It was aimed to allow the economy to become more independent. It caused huge increasing of agricultural production.

2. All the statements given above are incorrect except: C) It toppled Tsar Nicholas II from power. Bolshevik Revolution was begun by Vladimir Lenin. Its goal was to change the form of government from monarchy to socialism. Nicholas II and his family were brutally murdered by bolsheviks during the Revolution.

3. German economy was vulnerable during these times as it was dependent on loans from US. So the Great Depression also affected Germany. Because of this Hitler and the Nazi Party took the government. They promised to rebuild economy and focus on military. So I'd choose this option: D) The Nazi government took command of the economy.

4. As far as I remember correct answer is:Both Mohandas Gandhi and Mao Zedong D) led revolutionary movements against the British Empire. These two great people were almost completely different, but they both were against imperialism. This is one of their greatest similarities.

5. the same as 4.

6. If my memory serves me well Sun Yat Sen is the first president and founder of the Republic of China. He is considered as the one of the greatest leaders of China. According to this I'd go with this option: B) China should be run as a republican government.

7. If there was such option I'd choose all of the above, but if you need to choose only one option, I suggest you to go with: D) the use of violence to enforce its political vision. This option reflects authoritarian governments.

8. It's obvious that the answer is: During the 1930's the leaders of Japan, Germany, and Italy made war more likely by D) using nationalism to establish warlike attitudes among their populations. Every country used their own ideology of nationalism to inspire people to support the war. They provided arguments that their nation is the greatest and it worked.
