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

Explanation:

In the early 1900s, Russia faced significant social and economic unrest. Famine was widespread, leading to uprisings. The military was often used to suppress these uprisings. The government was not effectively repairing infrastructure. The wealthy class was not growing due to employment boom as the economy was in a state of distress with issues like peasant unrest and not a booming employment scenario for the wealthy to expand. Also, Russia had agricultural products to export but internal problems affected the economy.

Answer:

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