Answer 1

The timeline that best explains the causes leading to the emancipation of Russia’s serfs is the one that includes the following events in the proper order:

1. 1800s: Most of Europe had abolished feudal systems within their countries.
2. 1855: Alexander II reigns as tsar of Russia.
3. 1856: Russia loses the Crimean War.
4. 1861: Edict Emancipation abolishes serfdom and feudalism.

This timeline contextualizes the pressure from broader European trends, the leadership of Alexander II, and the impact of the Crimean War, which collectively contributed to the eventual emancipation of the serfs.
