The provided data presents the question but does not include any answer options to analyze. Without the listed choices, I cannot perform a choice-by-choice evaluation of which option is correct or incorrect.

What we do have is the question: 'Which important international political event most shaped the American attitude towards immigration in the 1920s?' In a historical context, several candidates are commonly discussed, and each would lead to different reasoning:

- If the Russian/Bolshevik Revolution (1917) is among the options, one could argue it contributed to fears of radicalism and communism, fueling nativist and anti-immigrant sentiments during the Red Scare, which in turn influenced restrictive immigration policies in the early 1920s.
- If World War I aftermath or the rise of nativist movements are listed, these could similarly be linked to stricter quotas and heightened suspicion of newcomers from certain regions.
- If there are options about internal policy reforms (e.g., Emergency Quota Act of 1921 or National Origins Act of 1924) as 'events,' they would be evaluating policy responses rather than international political events, which might shift the framing of the question.

Since there are no answer choices to evaluate, I can’t assess which specific option aligns with the intended correct answer or explain why other options would be incorrect. If you can share the available answer options, I will provide a detailed, line-by-line analysis of each one, explaining why the correct option fits the historical context and why the incorrect ones do not.

If you intended the Russian Revolution to be the correct option, the usual argument would highlight how fear of communist revolution abroad translated into domestic fear of immigrant groups seen as potential sympathizers, thus shaping restrictive immigration policy in the United States during the 1920s. However, to responsibly justify this, I would need the exact list of options to reference in the analysis.
