Question : Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the question.

In the years leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917, the country had a succession of wars. These were the Crimean War, the Russo-Turkish War, the Russo-Japanese War, and World War I. All of these required a lot from the state, including tax dollars and manpower. Russia suffered defeats in all, except against Turkey. This series of wars caused great discontent among the people and caused suffering in the country's economy and government.

Along with these wars, there were three major parties that contributed to the cause of the revolution. First, there were the peasants, who maintained the majority of the population in Russia. They were excessively poor and could barely escape famine from harvest to harvest. The population boom in Russia from 1867 to 1896 was felt most drastically by the peasants. The increase of 30 million people in less than 30 years was so great that the land for the peasants' disposal did not increase sufficiently. The government tried to help, but the war took precedence. Second, there was a rise in the industrial working class. These workers were employed in the mines, factories, and workshops of the major cities. They suffered low wages, poor housing, and many accidents. Again, the government tried to help by passing factory acts to restrict the number of hours one could work. However, their efforts were on too small a scale to have any real effect. As a result, there were many strikes and constant conflicts between the workers and the police. Lastly, the tsar of Russia was the cause of much disapproval. Tsar Nicholas II was much more interested in his family life than matters of the state. He had an obsession with retaining all his privileges and the belief that he was chosen by God to rule. Also, he didn't understand the forces of industrialization and nationalism that were growing throughout Russia. His disregard for the struggles of the people led them to lose faith in him and the longstanding tradition of autocracy. The people were not content and were ready to revolt. They just needed a good reason and a strong leader.
