Question

how was the russian revolution of 1905 different from the russian revolution of 1917?
a. the russian revolution of 1905 led to limits on the czars power, but the russian revolution of 1917 ended the czarist system altogether.
b. during the russian revolution of 1905, people protested against the crimean war, but during the russian revolution of 1917, people protested against world war i.
c. the russian revolution of 1905 brought the bolsheviks into power, but the russian revolution of 1917 allowed the moderates to defeat the bolsheviks.
d. during the russian revolution of 1905, the czar was assassinated, but during the russian revolution of 1917, the czar peacefully stepped down.

Explanation:

• Option A: The 1905 Revolution led to the October Manifesto, limiting the czar's power (establishing a Duma), while the 1917 Revolution (February) ended the czarist system. This matches historical facts.
• Option B: The 1905 Revolution was not about the Crimean War (which was in the 1850s); it was about Bloody Sunday and broader grievances. The 1917 Revolution was against WWI, but the first part of B is incorrect.
• Option C: The Bolsheviks came to power in 1917 (October Revolution), not 1905. The 1905 Revolution did not bring Bolsheviks to power, so C is wrong.
• Option D: The czar was not assassinated in 1905; Nicholas II abdicated in 1917 (not peacefully in the sense of "stepping down" without pressure, but he abdicated), and he and his family were later executed. So D is incorrect.

Answer:

A. The Russian Revolution of 1905 led to limits on the czar’s power, but the Russian Revolution of 1917 ended the czarist system altogether.
