Russian Revolution

The Russians had a revolution mainly because of the gulf between the peasents who were former serfs and the land owners. They lost WWI.They lost the war against Germany, and there was starvation in the country. Thepeasants also felt that the czar should not pay attention on war, but should take care of their needs, and the economy was really bad.The major cause of the revolution was the Peasants getting mad at the czar cause he was not taking care of their needs. Also the government never recovered from their past. They lost their money in war, and never really recoverwed from it and it kept getting worse. They didnt have technology that will contribute to the war, and let them end up getting victory. They lost thousands of their young soldiers.Another reason was that the Russians didnt have industrial revolution.The peasants wanted to throw out the old government, and wanted to approach towards Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. They wanted a communist country which they eventually did for 75 years.During the revolution the czar was Nicholas II who was not a bright man, and an ideal leader that will be appropriate to run a country.Lennin was the leader of the Bolsheviks communist party. Lennin promised the russian people "Peace, Land, and Bread".

The countries wanted a good army then the other countries. They also increased their military, and naval forces.They felt that if they have strong army they can defend themselves from other countries. After seeing the other country with a strong army Germany also wanted a stronger army then Great Britain. Also another cause of WWI was the assasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinan.
