Detailed explanation-1: -Which statement best describes the relationship between World War I and the Russian Revolution? World War I created conditions within Russia that helped trigger a revolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The most important impact of the Russian Revolution was that it eventually took Russia out of World War I. Without Russia to occupy German troops on the Eastern Front, Germany was free to send most of those troops to the Western Front in a final effort to win the war.
Detailed explanation-3: -In addition, the Bolsheviks had to give much of the southern part of Russia to what was still the Ottoman Empire, controlled by Turkey.

In February and March 1917, a popular revolution forced the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the rise of a provisional government. This government, which kept Russia in the war, was itself overthrown by radical socialists just eight months later.
