Answer 1

The correct option is E The Czar refused to allow Russia to industrialize

In December 1904, the liberals called for political reforms and a constitution. The Czar issued a manifesto which promised many demands however crucial demands weren’t included. Upon many sympathy strikes, huge number of workers went to the Winter Palace to sign a petition but the troops fired causing about 1000 deaths. This was called as Bloody Sunday and it was the start of the Russia Revolution.
