The Russian Revolution

The Russian Revolution of 1917 was focused on 2 primary events. These events made up the Russian Revolution and were called " The February Revolution and the October Revolution ". These Revolutions had the effect of completely changing the nature of society within the Russian Empire and transforming the Russian state. Csar Nicholas II was removed from his throne in 1917. He abdicated himself leaving the Provisional Government in Power. The army of Russia did not have the means to win and many of them died or suffered severely. Nicholas the II was a bad leader. The February Revolution took place in Petrogad ( which now Present-day is St. Petersburg). There were deadly vilent murders and riot on the streets. Therefore he was removed from his power. The Provisional Government was the temporary government that simply replaced Csar. Many men had been either killed in battle, wounded, or captured by the enemy. about 1,300,000 men were killed, 4,200,000 wounded and 2,417,000 were captured . During tis period many mutinies were made by desperate people because they couldnt take it anymore. The Provisional Government decided to stay at war, however Bolsheviks and other socialists decided to abandon the war and to form new workers. They did what they wanted to do and eventually they became the Red Guards, They were fighting to keep control of this Country.
In The October Revolution the bolsheviks was led by Vladimir Lenin. He and other workers from the Soviet, took control of the Provisional Government of Petrogad. Since they managed to overthrow them; The bolsheviks now saw themselves as leaders of various government charges. All thanks to Lenin they siezed the right power to end this Revolution. They ended it by making the Bolsheviks sign a peace treaty in March 1918.Lenin and the Bolsheviks believed in the teachings of Karl Marx and Communism. Even though Lenin Revolted against landowners and factory owners it was all so he can take cotrol of the provisional government.

Causes of WW I

There were many causes that started World War I. Some of them were ; Nationalism , Militarism , the Assasination of Franz Ferdinand and the collapse of the alliance system. The primary causes I believed were the Assasination of Franz Ferdinand , Nationalism , and the collapse of the alliance system. The Assasination of Archduke Ferdinand made the Austria-Hungarians attack Serbia. Even though they had an allience with each other , they began to attack each other. When this had happened Russian began to attack Austria-Hungary, then the Germans got involved because they didnt like the Russians. Also the fact that Germany was allined with Austria-Hungary. However the Russians were allined with France so the french began attacking Germany. There was a big revolution because the Russians and the French were attacking Germany from both sides.
The collapse of the alliance system affected World War I because this was the time where everyone lost their alliances ; or at least when one alliance attacked eachother. Serbia murdered The Archduke of Astria Hungary. This was the beginning. When Austria- Striked, Everyone was going against eachother. Germany used Nationalism to offend other countries. Speeches and writings that say about national superior. So the main causes of the war I believed were NAtionalism, Assasination of an Austrian-Hungary leader, and the system of alliances.
