Select the correct answer.
Read this sentence from "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell:

After the debacle in Russia I left the country, for it was imprudent for an officer of the Czar to stay there.

What is the meaning of the word debacle in this sentence?

A debacle is some kind of circumstance that causes mass-panic and negatively impacts peoples' lives. The sentence, from what I can tell, is intentionally ironic (basically saying, "It would be pretty shameful for an officer serving under the king to help fix a national crisis.")
