Question 13 • World History

Why did thousands of Russian citizens march on St. Petersburg in 1905?

Answer

A

They marched to demand better working conditions, more personal freedoms, and greater representation in government.

B

They marched to call for an end to World War I, which had claimed the lives of many young Russian men.

C

They marched to bring about civil rights and to insist on suffrage for Russian women.

D

They marched to encourage the government to lower taxes, which had become too high for most people to pay.

Explanation

In January 1905, thousands of workers and other citizens marched in St. Petersburg to present demands to the tsar. They sought better working conditions, more personal freedoms, and a greater voice in government. This makes C correct; World War I did not begin until 1914, so D is not possible.
