Correct answer: C. The start of the Russian Revolution
Detail: The USA declared war in April, 1917. There was some revolution activity in Russian the spring of 1917, but the main "Russian Revolution" as led by the Bolsheviks started in October, 1917.
Context:
Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania -- but that happened before 1917. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.
Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks. But a couple years later they resumed such attacks, and there was also an intercepted telegram (the "Zimmerman Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.
In 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response.
Mutually assured destruction was an agreed upon course of action that stated if two countries were to get into a nuclear war, a majority of the populations of both the countries would dwindle and utterly destroy both. Because both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. did not want to lose themselves as countries and their populations, the Cold war never had any nuclear action taken, hence the nme Cold War.
