0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Both showed discontent against Tsarism
Explanation: The direct answer is Option A: both events showed discontent against Tsarism. In 1905, workers, peasants, soldiers, and other groups protested against autocratic rule, poor conditions, and repression. The protests did not permanently remove the Tsar, but they exposed deep weaknesses in the system. In 1917, dissatisfaction again became a mass movement and finally brought down Tsarist rule. Option A is correct because opposition to the Tsar was common to both events. Option B is wrong because neither event immediately ended socialism; the 1917 Revolution later led to a socialist government. Option C is wrong because these were not actions carried out only by foreign armies; Russian workers and other people participated. Option D is wrong because workers participated significantly, especially in strikes and demonstrations. Memory cue: 1905 revealed the crisis; 1917 completed the overthrow of Tsarism.

24 Why did Bloody Sunday break the idea of the Tsar as a kind protector?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Because troops fired on a peaceful petition procession
Explanation: On 22 January 1905, workers and their families marched towards the Winter Palace in St Petersburg carrying a petition. They requested better working conditions, relief from hardship and political reforms, and many still regarded the Tsar as a protective father figure who would listen to their grievances. Instead, troops fired on the largely peaceful procession, killing and wounding many people. The incident became known as Bloody Sunday and destroyed the popular image of the Tsar as a benevolent protector. It also encouraged strikes and wider unrest. The other options describe events that did not cause this breakdown of trust. Therefore, option A is correct.
25 What is the greatest usefulness of chronology in studying the Russian Revolution?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It places 1905, February, October and the Civil War in a chain of cause, process and result
Explanation: Chronology helps students distinguish the stages of a long revolutionary process rather than treating the Russian Revolution as one isolated event. The Revolution of 1905 exposed weaknesses in Tsarist rule; the February Revolution of 1917 overthrew the Tsar; the October Revolution transferred power to the Bolsheviks; and the Civil War tested and consolidated the new regime. This sequence helps explain causes, developments and consequences. Option A is correct because it connects events in a meaningful chain. Options B, C and D misunderstand chronology: it does not collapse time, remove political meaning or belong only to geography.
