Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The increasing food shortages and resulting high prices were the main failures of government policy that triggered unrest and strikes in Petrograd in 1916. The government's inability to address the food crisis led to popular dissatisfaction and protests, which were brutally suppressed by the authorities. This contributed to the growing sense of disillusionment and anger that would eventually lead to the collapse of the Russian Empire.
