• C. November Revolution - Russia declared as Socialist Republic Union
• D. Treaty of Brest-Litovsk - Signed between Russia and Britain.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Treaty of Brest-Litovsk - Signed between Russia and Britain.

Russian soldiers joined hands with the workers and formed councils called the “Soviets”. When the Tsar left his throne during the March revolution, a provisional government came to power and declared Russia as a republic. Post the November Revolution, the Soviets joined hands with the Bolshevik Party and overthrew the Provisional Government. Russia was declared as a Socialist Republic Union, with Lenin as its President.

Russia withdrew from the First World War on 3 March 1918 by signing a peace treaty called Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with the Central Powers - Germany and Austria-Hungary.
