Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

1902 - Peasant protests and murders in South Russia

The expansion of the railway lines in the 1890s paved way for foreign investments which in turn created more industries. In 1896 and 1897, there were recurrent strikes in the textile industries and in 1902, the metal industries went on strike. The peasant protests and murders of landlords were common in South Russia during this time. By 1905, these incidents took place all over Russia. The Russian working class started to rise against their oppressive employers and the government.
