Explanation

The February Revolution led to the overthrow of the Tsar. This revolution, which took place in Russia in February 1917, was a result of widespread discontent with the Tsarist regime. Protests and strikes erupted throughout the country, and the military eventually joined the revolutionaries. The Tsar was forced to abdicate, bringing an end to centuries of autocratic rule. This event marked a significant turning point in Russian history and paved the way for the establishment of a provisional government and ultimately the rise of the Bolsheviks under Lenin.

Explanation

The correct answer is that the Tsar's soldiers refused to fire on the protesters and thus joined them. This is evident from the statement that the spark that ignited the revolution was women protesting over a lack of food and when they protested, the soldiers fired on them causing casualties. However, instead of continuing to support the Tsar, the soldiers refused to fire on the protesters and joined them, which ultimately led to a change in the economy and a decrease in bread prices.

The February Revolution failed to achieve the goals of ending Russia's involvement in WW1, alleviating food shortages, and improving poor living and working conditions. Despite the revolution leading to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the formation of a provisional government, these issues continued to persist. The new government was unable to effectively address the demands of the people and bring about the desired changes. The revolution did not result in the formation of representative groups or a complete removal of the Tsar's power, further hindering progress in achieving these goals.
