 | Aditi Sharma answered |
In the eighteenth century, conservatives had been generally opposed to the idea of change.
After the French revolution, however, even conservatives had opened their minds to the need for change.
By the nineteenth century, they accepted that some change was inevitable but believed that the past had to be respected and change had to be brought about through a slow process.

Which of the following was the ruler of Russia during World War I?
a)
Louis XVI
b)
Tsar Nicholas I
c)
Tsar Nicholas II
d)
Louis XIV
| | Suhani Kumari answered |
The answer is option c.During the February Revolution, Czar Nicholas II, ruler of Russia since 1894, is forced to abdicate the throne by the Petrograd insurgents, and a provincial government is installed in his place.
Crowned on May 26, 1894, Nicholas was neither trained nor inclined to rule, which did not help the autocracy he sought to preserve in an era desperate for change. The disastrous outcome of the Russo-Japanese War led to the Russian Revolution of 1905, which the czar diffused only after signing a manifesto promising representative government and basic civil liberties in Russia. However, Nicholas soon retracted most of these concessions, and the Bolsheviks and other revolutionary groups won wide support. In 1914, Nicholas led his country into another costly war, and discontent in Russia grew as food became scarce, soldiers became war-weary, and devastating defeats on the eastern front demonstrated the czar’s ineffectual leadership.

**Answer:**
**Capitalists believed in profit and private property.**
Capitalism is an economic system characterized by private ownership of property and the pursuit of profit. Capitalists are individuals or businesses that own and control the means of production, such as factories, land, and machinery. They seek to maximize their profits through the production and sale of goods and services.
**Private Property:**
Capitalists believe in the importance of private property rights. Private property refers to the ownership of assets by individuals or businesses rather than by the state or society as a whole. Capitalists argue that private property rights incentivize individuals to invest in and improve their property, leading to increased productivity and economic growth. They believe that individuals should have the right to use, sell, or rent their property as they see fit, without interference from the state.
**Profit:**
Profit is a key motivation for capitalists. They believe that by taking risks and investing capital, they should be able to earn a return on their investment. Capitalists seek to maximize their profits by producing goods and services that are in demand and selling them at a price higher than the cost of production. They argue that the pursuit of profit drives innovation, efficiency, and economic growth.
**Competition:**
Capitalists believe in the importance of competition as a mechanism for allocating resources and driving economic growth. They argue that competition forces businesses to constantly improve their products and services, lower prices, and become more efficient. This benefits consumers by providing them with a wider range of choices and better quality products at lower prices.
**Limited Government Intervention:**
Capitalists generally advocate for limited government intervention in the economy. They believe that free markets, with minimal government interference, are the most efficient way to allocate resources and generate wealth. They argue that excessive regulation and government control can stifle innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth.
**Conclusion:**
In summary, capitalists believe in the pursuit of profit and the importance of private property rights. They argue that profit incentives and private ownership of property lead to economic growth and prosperity. Capitalists also emphasize competition and limited government intervention as key principles of a successful capitalist system.

 | Sahil Mehta answered |
Reaction from political groups was varied. Liberals were satisfied with the level of reform in the Manifesto. Kadets (rich peasants) wanted reform to go further. They wanted a written constitution and guarantees of a constituent assembly. The Social Revolutionaries (SRs) were critical of the Manifesto, as were the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. It did not give any more power to the peasants or workers.
As a response to the 1905 Revolution, the October Manifesto succeeded in dividing the opposition, making the Tsar's grip on power more secure.

| | Radha Iyer answered |
Russia faced a very tough situation during the First World War. The war on the eastern front' differed from that on the 'western front'.Defeats were shocking and demoralising. Russia's armies lost badly in Germany and Austria between 1914 and 1916. By 1916, railway lines began to break down.
The First World War badly hit the Russian industries. Russia's own industries were few in number and the country was cut off from other suppliers of industrial goods by German control of the Baltic sea.Industrial equipment disintegrated more rapidly in Russia than elsewhere in Europe. By 1916, railway lines began to break down. Able-bodied men were called up to the war. As a result, there were labour shortages and small workshops producing essentials were shut down.Large supplies of grain were sent to feed the army.
Hence, all the statements are correct.
