The Russian Revolution

Before the Russian Revolution, they were seperated into three governments. One government was run by Czar Nicholas two. Under Czar's rule, Russia got involved in world war one. Many Russian soliders lost their life in that war. Also they were in starvation because they didnt have much food. Another government was a provisional government it was basically like a temporary government. The provisional government couldn't get them out of world war one. There was a russian revolution because of "mini revolutions" in Feburary 1917. Another Russian Revolution was in October in the year 1917. In feburary 1917, Czar was removed from power and was no longer in power. Thats when the provisional government was put in place. Since Czar was not in power anymore, they needed someone to keep Russia in place.

The revolution that took place in October was also called the Bolshevik Revolution. This revolution turned the provisional government into the Soviet Union. Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik group. They turned Russia into a communist country because they believed in the teaching of Karl Marx. The Bolshevik knew that they wouldnt be able to be kept in power if they stayed in the democratic state that they were in, so they announced that they were turning into a dicatorship. This sparked the Russian Revolution of October.

Causes of World War 1.

There are many causes for world war 1. Some of the main causes of the first world war was Nationalism and impearlism. World War one started on 1914 and lasted all through 1918. Countries that backed up each other would get involved if the country they were protecting got involved then they would get involved trying to protect the country. The thing that caused it to become a world war was the assination of Francis Ferdinand. The seribian black hand killed the archduke and his wife because he wanted to bring together Austria-Hungary and Serbia to make a Triple empire. Serbia didnt want this because the rule under Austria-hungary will break Serbia apart and they dont like being under their rule. So then Austria wanted to destroy Serbia for killing their archduke. Since Austria wanted to destroy Serbia, Germany was right behind them and decided to destroy Serbia too. The Austrian government officialy declared war on Serbia on July 28 1914.

Another cause of world war one, is Nationalism. Countries thought that they were better than the other countries so they would declare war. Also, Alliances were reasons for the world war to happen. The alliances were made in secret so people wouldn't know about these alliances. When people did find out about the alliances, they would get mad and they were suspicious of the alliances. Alliances also bought the question of power. Sure they were together now during war, but what happens after the war? Will they still be in an alliance? Who would get more power?
