□ lenin establishes the ussr under the control of the communist party.
□ tsar nicholas ii rules over the russian empire with absolute power.
□ joseph stalin takes control of eastern russia and mongolia; this threatens china
□ vladimir lenin and the bolsheviks take control of petrograd and overthrow the government.
□ the united states gets involved and replaces vladimir lenin with joseph stalin.
□ joseph stalin becomes dictator of the ussr and creates a totalitarian state.

Explanation:

1. For 1900: Tsar Nicholas II ruled Russia with absolute power before WWI and the 1917 revolts, so this event fits 1900.
2. For 1917 (November): The Bolshevik Revolution (Lenin and Bolsheviks taking control of Petrograd and overthrowing the government) happened in November 1917.
3. For 1929: Stalin became dictator of the USSR and established a totalitarian state around this time (after Lenin's death and his rise to power). The other options are either misplaced (Lenin establishing USSR is in 1922) or incorrect (US didn't replace Lenin, Stalin's control of Eastern Russia/Mongolia is not accurate in this context).

Answer:

• Tsar Nicholas II rules over the Russian Empire with absolute power.
• Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks take control of Petrograd and overthrow the government.
• Joseph Stalin becomes dictator of the USSR and creates a totalitarian state.
