Answer:
OPTION D IS YOUR ANSWER
Explanation:
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. Thus, bread and flour became scarce for the people in the cities.
Answer:
Explanation:
The vast majority of people in Russia were agriculturists. About 85 percent of the Russian empire ís population earned their living from agriculture cultivators produced for the market as well as for their own needs and Russia was a major exporter of grain.
The industry was found in pockets. Prominent industrial areas were St Petersburg and Moscow. Craftsmen undertook much of the production, but large factories existed alongside craft workshops.
Many factories were set up in the 1890s when Russiaís railway network was extended, and foreign investment in industry increased. Coal production doubled and iron and steel output quadrupled.
