Question

how did the october revolution in 1917 change russias government? a. it convinced the czar to institute reforms that benefited russias middle class. b. it led to the end of communism and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. c. it helped the white army to defeat the red army and overthrow vladimir lenin. d. it allowed the bolshevik socialists to gain power and eventually establish the u.s.s.r.

Explanation:

• Option A refers to reforms under the czar, unrelated to the October Revolution which overthrew the provisional government that replaced the czar.
• Option B is incorrect: the October Revolution established communist rule, not ended it, and abolished the monarchy entirely.
• Option C is wrong: the Red Army (Bolshevik forces) defeated the White Army, not the other way around.
• Option D is accurate: the 1917 October Revolution saw the Bolsheviks seize control, leading to the formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.) in 1922.

Answer:

D. It allowed the Bolshevik socialists to gain power and eventually establish the U.S.S.R.
