Question

what was the outcome of the 1917 october revolution?
○ vladimir lenin was ousted from power.
○ it set up a permanent and stable government.
○ the bolsheviks launched a coup detat against the government.
○ the peasants won and established a democratic government.

Explanation:

• Option 1: Lenin led the October Revolution and came to power, so he wasn't ousted. Eliminate.
• Option 2: The Soviet government established after the October Revolution was relatively stable and long - lasting (though with later changes), and it was a new form of government. This is a valid outcome.
• Option 3: The Bolsheviks (led by Lenin) did launch a coup (the October Revolution) against the Provisional Government, which is an accurate description of the event and its outcome in terms of the power - seizure action.
• Option 4: The October Revolution established a socialist government, not a democratic government in the traditional bourgeois - democratic sense, and the main driving force was the Bolsheviks with support from workers, soldiers, etc., not just peasants. Eliminate.

Among the options, the most accurate description of the outcome (in terms of the action taken) is that the Bolsheviks launched a coup d'état against the government.

Answer:

C. The Bolsheviks launched a coup d'etat against the government.
