Question

Which statement describes a similarity between the French Revolution and the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia?

• A. Most of the revolutionary support was provided by radicals from other countries.
• B. The new democracies created by the revolutions gave people greater representation in their governments.
• C. Both revolutions were the result of governments denying basic human rights and inducing stressful economic conditions.
• D. The leaders in power before the revolutions favoured changing the political system in their country.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both revolutions were the result of governments denying basic human rights and inducing stressful economic conditions.

The wealth was disproportionately distributed in both France and Russia. In both countries the kings had immense power; the clergy and nobility owned the huge bulk of land. People suffered from food shortage, hunger and the oppressive policies of the King. The government denies even the basic human rights for the people. As a result of all the economic and social pressures, revolutions broke out.
