21 multiple choice 1 point
which pair represents both a long term & immediate cause of the russian revolution?
the war of the golden stool; the death of alexi, the czars son
the construction of stalingrad; russias industrialization
the scramble for africa left no land for russia; the english victory in the anglo-boer war
russias defeat in the russo-japanese war; supply shortages during world war i

Explanation:

• The War of the Golden Stool was a conflict in Ghana, unrelated to the Russian Revolution, so the first option is invalid.
• Stalingrad was built long after the Russian Revolution, and Russia's industrialization was a long-term factor but the pair does not match long/immediate causes, so the second option is wrong.
• The Scramble for Africa and Anglo-Boer War had no direct connection to the Russian Revolution, so the third option is incorrect.
• Russia's defeat in the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War eroded public trust in the Tsar over time, acting as a long-term cause. Supply shortages during World War I (1917) directly sparked mass unrest, serving as the immediate trigger for the revolution.

Answer:

D. Russia's defeat in the Russo-Japanese War; Supply shortages during World War I
