Which of the following caused the down fall of Ramsey MacDonald, leader of England's first Labour ministry?

The Zimmerman telegram
The Ems dispatch
The Zinoviev Letter
The Teapot Dome scandal
The February Strikes

Explanation

Answer: C - The Zinoviev Letter caused the downfall of Ramsey MacDonald. The letter was supposedly from the Third Communist International, a group founded in Moscow to develop communism in other nations. Although the group failed in England, the publication of the letter sent to Ramsey MacDonald providing instructions for a Communist takeover was enough to discredit him in the political climate of the early 1920s. As a result, the Conservatives returned power.
