Russian Revolution

Question 15 • LUSD-World History(B) (A-G)

What caused the February Revolution of 1917?

Answer
A
People were angry because of the tsar’s poor leadership.
B
Lenin’s idea of a classless society induced people to revolt.
C
Protests against food and coal shortages turned into riots.
D
The Duma rose up against the autocratic Russian monarchy.

Explanation

Food shortages and a lack of fuel, including coal, caused hardship in Petrograd. Protests over these shortages grew into strikes and riots, prompting soldiers to join the demonstrators and helping bring down the tsarist government. Lenin’s revolutionary ideas were not the immediate cause of the February Revolution.
