Which uprising is listed as part of the Civil War's final phase?

• A. Decembrist revolt.
• B. Peterloo Massacre.
• C. Great Purge.
• D. Kronstadt rebellion.

Answer: (D)

The event in question belongs to the late stage of the Civil War, when the Bolsheviks faced a last wave of internal and scattered opposition and worked to consolidate power. The Kronstadt rebellion occurred in 1921, when sailors at the Kronstadt naval base rose against Bolshevik policies, demanding political freedoms and reforms. Though they had supported the revolution earlier, their uprising highlighted that opposition to Bolshevik rule persisted even as the civil war was winding down. The rebellion was eventually crushed by the Red Army, underscoring the shift toward centralized control and the move to NEP after War Communism.

The other events don’t fit this time frame: the Decembrist revolt happened in 1825, long before the Civil War; the Peterloo Massacre occurred in 1819 in Britain; the Great Purge happened in the 1930s, well after the Civil War.
