Question

of totalitarian governments after world war i
which best characterizes russia in the early 1900s?
the military was using force to subdue uprisings caused by famine.
the economy was stalled because there was nothing to export.
the wealthy class was growing due to a boom in employment.
the government was attempting to repair an aging infrastructure.

Explanation:

In the early 1900s, Russia faced widespread famine (notably in 1905 and preceding years) that sparked peasant and worker uprisings. The Tsarist government deployed the military to suppress these revolts, a key characteristic of the period. The other options are incorrect: Russia had major exports like grain, the wealthy class was not growing from an employment boom (the economy was struggling), and the Tsarist government did not prioritize repairing aging infrastructure.

Answer:

A. The military was using force to subdue uprisings caused by famine.
