There were many reasons. The country was in extreme poverty, there was starvation everywhere and people were dying in misery. They wanted to change the imperialistic rule and impose their own bolshevik rule. People also wanted to end their participation in the war which is one of the first things that happened after the revolution. The communists left the war before the war ended.
The correct answer is A) on Union soil.
The Battle of Antietam/Sharpsburg is different from previous battles in the Civil War because it was the first battle on Union soil.
During the times of the American Civil War, the Battle of Antietam was fought on September 17, 1862, in Sharpsburg, Maryland. It was a hard-fought bloody battle that was decided in the end with a sound victory to the Union Army led by General George McClellan. Confederate leader Robert E. Lee was trying to invade the Union's territory, but a solid Army of the Potomac impeeded it.
The question is based on your own opinion,I cannot give you direct answer,but here's some idea for you.
yes: the war was caused by extreme nationalism,where the nations had the desire to be strong with and they seek for national glory. It started with this concept,they began to ally,to expand,soon running into conflicts,eventually the scale enlarged to a world war. Yet the chase for national glory was originally to bring a better nation,in the end it just cause loss and destruction. War is not necessary to be started in orfer to gain national glory. Were the nations to back down,it could be avoided. You might want to expand more on the destruction it caused if you choose yes.
No: In spite of WWI did cause a lot of destruction,it pushes the history of human foward. You could talk more on the things achieved and changed in WWI,such as the fall of empires,the uprise of women rights,the establishment of national cooperation system(League of nations), and the develope of more destructive weapons.
hope it helps!
