question 6 of 10
how were the causes of the russian revolution of 1905 and the russian revolution of 1917 similar?
a. both revolutions stemmed from frustration with the czarist system.
b. both revolutions resulted from military defeats during world war i.
c. both revolutions protested against the execution of nicholas ii.
d. both revolutions protested against peasants having to work as serfs.

Explanation:

The 1905 Revolution was a result of widespread dissatisfaction with the autocratic czarist regime, and the 1917 Revolution also came about due to frustrations with the czarist - led government and its inefficiencies. World War I was only a factor in the 1917 Revolution, not 1905. Nicholas II was executed after the 1917 Revolution, so it couldn't be a cause for either 1905 or 1917. Serfdom was abolished in 1861, long before both revolutions.

Answer:

A. Both revolutions stemmed from frustration with the czarist system.
