To determine which of the options is the correct answer, let's first understand the context of the February Revolution and the October Revolution in Russia.
The February Revolution in Russia took place in 1917 and resulted in the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, ending the Russian Empire. It was largely driven by widespread grievances against the monarchy, food shortages, and the hardships experienced by the Russian people during World War I.
On the other hand, the October Revolution occurred later that year, in the month of October according to the Julian calendar (November in the Gregorian calendar). This revolution was led by the Bolshevik party, overthrew the Provisional Government that was formed after the February Revolution, and eventually established the Soviet Union.
Now, let's evaluate the two options:
A. It failed to shake the existing government of Russia.
This option suggests that the February Revolution did not manage to significantly challenge or overthrow the existing government of Russia. If this were true, it would undermine the success of the revolution and make it less impactful compared to the October Revolution. However, it is important to note that the February Revolution did lead to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, which can be considered a significant shake to the existing government. Therefore, option A is not the correct reason.
B. It did not affect Russia's commitment to World War I.
This option suggests that the February Revolution did not alter Russia's commitment to World War I. If this were true, it could explain why the revolution was less successful than the October Revolution because it would mean that the same issues that led to the revolution, such as food shortages and hardships, persisted. Therefore, option B is the correct reason for the February Revolution's comparative lack of success.
In conclusion, the correct answer is B. The February Revolution in Russia was less successful than the October Revolution because it did not affect Russia's commitment to World War I, and the underlying issues that sparked the revolution remained unresolved.
