Correct answer: Russia's withdrawal from the war (World War I).
Russia withdrew from The Great War (which we now call World War I) after the Bolshevik Revolution brought Vladimir Lenin and the communists to power. Revolutionary activity broke out in Russia in February, 1917 -- during the time of World War I. Germany and Russia were on opposite sides in that war, and the German authorities helped Lenin, in exile, return to Russia in order to foment further revolution there and hurt the Russian government's ability to wage war in Europe. The major revolution in Russia, known as the Bolshevik Revolution, occurred in the fall of 1917. In March 1918, the new Soviet Russia government under Lenin ended its participation in the war, signing the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
After 1900 Japan aligned itself with Britain, and Germany and Japan were enemies in World War I. Japan declared war on the German Empire in 1914 and seized key German possessions in China and the Pacific. In the 1930s, both countries adopted aggressive militaristic attitudes toward their respective regions. Hope this helped!!
