Explanation:
<span>FULL ANSWERThe Russian revolution actually included two separate revolutions, both in 1917. First, the February Revolution grew out of food riots in the city of Petrograd, now St. Petersburg. When the armed forces were called out to quell the uprising, many of the soldiers defected, forcing Czar Nicholas to abdicate and dissolving the imperial government. Eventually, revolutionaries executed the czar and his family, putting an end to aristocratic rule in Russia. The October Revolution saw Lenin and the Bolsheviks come to power, and they soon signed a peace treaty with Germany. Allied powers supported the anti-Bolshevik factions in Russia in an attempt to bring the country back into the war, but the Bolshevik Red Army faction ultimately prevailed. This costly civil war, in which as many as 10 million people perished, became the cornerstone of Soviet mythology as a tale of their ideological purity in the face of opposition and manipulation by the West and drove much of Soviet policy for decades.</span>
Restrict the ability of African Americans to obtain voting rights.
The black community experienced much poverty because of prejudice against them in the economic system of the country, so poll taxes could keep them from going to the polls to vote.
Blacks also typically had less access to education than whites even after slavery was ended; thus their literacy rates were lower. So literacy tests were also used to restrict blacks from voting.
Southern states also utilized "grandfather clauses," which were exemptions to things like poll taxes and literacy tests, granted to those whose forefathers ("grandfathers") had full voting rights prior to the Civil War. So if there were poor or illiterate whites, they could vote freely while blacks (whose ancestors had been slaves) were subjected to the laws restricting their voting ability.
These sorts of restrictions against black voters prompted much of the activism of the civil rights movement that began in the middle of the 20th century.
