Answer 2

(C) Russian army lost badly in Germany and Austria between 1914 and 1916.

Tsar Nicholas II made the decision to seize leadership of the Russian army. Between 1914 and 1916, the army suffered heavy losses in Germany and Austria.

The defeat of the Russian army

• By 1917, there had been 70 lakh casualties. The Russian army burned crops and structures as they retreated to prevent the opposition from being able to subsist off the land.
• It led to the arrival of approximately 30 lakh refugees in Russia. The government and the Tsar were both embarrassed by the situation. Soldiers no longer wanted to fight in the conflict.

• The country was cut off from other sources of industrial materials due to German dominance of the Baltic Sea. Railway lines were beginning to deteriorate by 1916.
• In the cities, bread and wheat were in short supply. Bakery riots had become regular by the winter of 1916.

The Eastern Front of the First World War differed from the Western Front. Forces fought from trenches in the West, whereas armies in the East moved a lot and fought engagements with a lot of losses.
