What becomes clear by studying Comintern and anti colonial movements together?

Correct answer: Socialist ideas linked with international politics and liberation struggles

The direct answer is option A: socialist ideas became linked with international politics and liberation struggles. The Comintern, or Communist International, was created to connect communist parties and revolutionary movements across countries. Studying it beside anti-colonial movements shows that socialist debates did not remain confined to Russia; they travelled through international networks and influenced discussions about imperialism, workers’ rights and national liberation. Option A is correct because it captures this international connection. Option B is wrong because socialism and communist organising spread beyond Russian villages and involved urban workers, political groups and movements in other countries. Option C is wrong because the Comintern was a political organisation, not a sports body. Option D is wrong because socialism generally criticised colonial exploitation; colonialism was not socialism’s main aim. The exact influence differed from place to place, but the broad connection is clear. Exam cue: Comintern plus anti-colonial movements means international spread of ideas and liberation politics.
