Why is it wrong to call the Russian Revolution only a palace event?

Correct answer: Because workers, peasants, soldiers and women were also involved

The governing concept is the broad social character of the Russian Revolution. It was not merely a change inside the royal palace or a struggle among elite rulers. Workers organised strikes, women began important demonstrations over bread, soldiers refused to suppress protesters and sometimes joined them, and peasants demanded land. These groups created pressure that weakened and finally ended Tsarist authority. Palace politics and military decisions mattered, but they cannot explain the scale or outcome of the revolution by themselves. The other options deny popular participation or reduce the event to religion or foreign war. Hence option A is correct.
