The year 1917 was a year of loss and sorrow. The Russian Revolution of 1917 or the “October Revolution” will always be remembered in history and will always remain relevant. Even though it may be called the October revolution it was two revolutions and not one. One which occurred in February overthrew the imperial government and the second of which, in October placed the Bolsheviks in power. Czars or tsars bond with his people been broken.Cazr’s reactionary policies, had spread disappointment and failure even to moderate elements. World War 1 made revolution inexorable in two ways: it showed Russia was no longer a military match for the nations of central and Western Europe, and it disrupted the economy. Russian armies suffered losses campaign
In the early 1900’s the Russian people had become angry at the way the Russian monarchy (Tsar Nicholas II) had handled foreign affairs and how he was treating his people unfairly. They had many protests, one in 1905 and two in 1917. The revolution in 1905 overthrow the absolute monarchy and put in a provisional government. No one really listened to the provisional government, so they overthrew it again in 1917. These revolutions and acts of disobedience led to many unnecessary deaths of innocent people.
Introduction The Russian had problems with different things like nicholas the second and how weak the leadership is and the starvation of civilians and this caused the revolution of russia and this changed russia. Russia was a vast multinational placed that was controlled by romanov. Body Paragraph One Nicholas the second was one of the problems i think because he made all the laws and policies when he also took control russia was behind on industrial product so he made more industrial product and that increased the urban poor but people in russia still lived on farms. The urban poor worked in factories and they worked for long hours with little pay and the conditions weren't so great.
The Russian Revolution of 1917 marked the end of the Romanov dynasty and centuries of Russian Imperial rule. During the Russian Revolution, the Bolsheviks, led by leftist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin seized power and destroyed the tradition of czarist rule. Civil War broke out in Russia between the Red and White Armies. The Red Army fought for the Lenin’s Bolshevik government. The White Army represented a large group of monarchists, capitalists and supporters of democratic socialism.
Even with the heavy losses of people, Russia continued raising taxes and raising money for the war. This caused food shortages and great suffering for the peasants. Czar Nicholas II tried to suppress the riots by force, but soon the military began to disobey him. Military mutinies began to spread. By 1917, Czar Nicholas II had little control of the country.
One man, Vladimir Lenin saw that Russia was spiraling downwards, having lost two battles in a row and having the highest death count out of all the European countries he saw that a change was needed. Lenin was the leader of the Bolsheviks who were a communist group that wanted to draw out of the war and over thrown Czar Nicholas II. Preaching peace, and food he wanted, ¨the offer of peace, the salvation of Petrograd, salvation from famine, and the transfer of land to the peasants who depended on them,¨ (Document 8). People were drawn into this and, ¨increasingly taken in by the propagandists of the united Socialist Party and their internationalis ideas,¨ (Document 9). This combined with high death rates, starvation, communist ideals started the overthrow of Russia and the end of the war.
It had many major outcomes affecting the future of the country. The unjust Russian society led the poor to revolt, but no one thought they could take down
The revolution and subsequent civil war also made the economy increasingly unstable. Widespread starvation and economic collapse resulted from a drop in industrial and agricultural productivity. In response, the Bolshevik government implemented measures like the nationalization of industry and the redistribution of land that profoundly altered the nation's economic structure. Ultimately, World War I and its aftermath had a significant impact on Russia. Both domestically and internationally, the revolution and the creation of the Soviet Union had significant effects that would have a long-term impact on Russian history.
In 1917, Tsar Nicholas ll is the current ruler of Russia. Russia’s economic growth is increased by the Czar’s reforms of the production of factories. During this era, Russia desperately needed to keep up with the rest of Europe’s industry. This reform worked perfectly, but the working conditions of these factories didn’t charm factory workers. After the events of the Russo-Japanese War, “Bloody Sunday”, and WW1, Russia was in utter chaos under the Czar’s ghastly leadership.
During the 20th century, Russia was experiencing turmoil in war and the country was deeply affected with Tsar Nicholas’s wrong decisions and lack of experience in politics. After the 1917 revolution in Russia, Lenin became the ruler of Russia and the USSR and proved to be the best Russian ruler of the 20th century. Before then, Tsarism dominated and Nicholas II was in power until he foresaw many revolutions against his methods of ruling. He remained as the supreme ruler and did not take actions for reforms. However, after the 1917 revolution, which Lenin masterminded, the Tsar was overthrown and the Bolsheviks established a stable government which took control in Russia.
Although Russia was once again in a terrible position for war the fought in the first World War and their country and its people faced further hardships. The people began to revolt and took over the government and then assassinated Nicholas II’s entire
Revolutionists explanation of October Revolution is based on the importance of the force of the masses which created the revolutionary nature of the society leading to cardinal reforms. Lenin was indeed a key figure and the Bolshevik party was able to meet the demand of the masses which raised their popularity. This view shows a direct conflict between a revolutionist and liberal ‘totalitarian’ schools that implements Lenin and Stalin as the only people that caused terror and emplaced control over
On the one hand we can see that the war did had a great impact on the political issues surrounding the changes in Russia. Firstly, the war itself was in effect a short-term factor that played into the entirety of the political changes that were happening in Russia in 1914. Nicholas' management of the war came under fire when looking at the reason for political change. The Tsar was determined to win the war and to rebuild Russia's failing war effort. This meant as a result of Nicholas' attempts to rebuild Russia's name instead of focusing on the war itself and the issues that would arise from the impacts of war, many felt that this tactic by Nicholas of only having the reputation of Russia in mind rather than the actual war itself was not the
The Russian Revolution, which was started by Lenin and his followers, was a rebellion that occurred in 1917 which forced higher powers to act to the needs of the lower class. For instance, many citizens were worried for their protection in consequence to the lack of survival necessities due to an early drought. Furthermore, their current czar during the time was incapable for his position as a czar and made horrendous decisions as czar. For example, when the czar, Nicholas, entered in World War I, he sent untrained troops into countless battles of failure which costed in mass amounts of lost life (paragraph 23).
Thee First World War placed an unbearable strain on Russia's weak government and economy, resulting in mass shortages and hunger. World War I was reason for the Russian Revolution of 1917. The poor performance of the Russian government in the Great War, along with the stress that the war put on Russia and the economy, drove people who were already unhappy to rebel. Russians had been unhappy for years about the country’s economic backwardness.
In any culture, the flag is a symbol of unity and strength. This means that when a leader is choosing a flag and the design, he must choose wisely in order to show the strength of his country. Red, white, and blue are colors widely used to represent countries. They sometimes represent things like nobility, loyalty, and courage. Being a symbol of strength, a flag can be one of the most important, but understated things used in a state to convey a message.
