The correct answer is D. The Russian Revolution

Explanation:

George Orwell was an English writer that lived during the 20th century mainly known for writing about politics and especially writing against social injustice and totalitarianism in works such as "Animal Farm" and "Nineteen Eighty Four". In his novel "Animal Farm" published in 1945 Orwell uses the animals of a farm and creates a plot using them to criticize the totalitarianism and other negative aspects of the Russian Revolution that took place in 1917 including the cause of this event and the features of the era that followed this event or the Stalinist Era as Orwell believed this has led to oppression and brutality. Therefore, the plot of George Orwell's Animal Farm is based on the Russian Revolution.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
