Answer 3

The Tsar's inability to meet the needs of Russians. Nicholas II rejected most forms of reform including the Duma or a form or parliament that he actually allowed to form after the riots in 1905. Russia's weakness and huge separation of poor and wealthy made the Tsar a tyrant. Nicholas II himself, was unable to rule effectively dragging Russia into a humilitating war with Japan in 1905 and losing causing riots. In 1914 the Russians army was so bad that soldiers often went into battle without guns. The ideas of Karl Marx made their way into Russia and Vladimir Lenin was exiled for speaking out against the Tsar. He was allowed back into the country by the Germans in WWI to destabilize the government. It worked. With starvation, desertion, and a weak Tsar, the government fell and a brief moderate government was in place that continued the costly war, because of this decision the Bolsheviks overtook the government and Lenin pulled out of World War I ceding a huge amount of territory to Germany.

Answer 4

Answer 1

1. The partial industrialization of Russia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which created an urban working class in places like St. Petersburg and Moscow that could organize against its exploitation through unions and workers councils (known as 'the soviets'). This enabled the workers to work together much more effectively against their bosses then the scattered, isolated, and thus largely de-politicized peasantry. The cities were also connected via trade and communication to the outside world, where intellectuals and workers alike had access to revolutionary ideas from Western Europe such as Marxism.

2. The desperate poverty and gross inequality that marked Russian society created a deep well of discontent. The czar and the aristocracy, as well as Russia's capitalist class, lived in opulent luxury in palaces such as the Hermitage while most Russians lived in medieval conditions. In the countryside, most farmers still used wooden plow. Hundreds of thousands died from epidemics on a regular basis. 1/3 of all Russian babies died before their first birthday.

3. The entry of Russia into World War I brought all the class tensions of Russian society to a boiling point, especially when Russia's badly equipped and led army suffered a series of disastrous defeats. Food riots broke out in Russia's major cities and the countryside. The army and navy began to mutiny against a government they had no desire to fight and die for.

4. The czar of Russia, Nicholas II, was a weak and indecisive leader. He went back and forth between making concessions to his people and then opting for repressive measures. Therefore, he both allowed breathing space for a revolutionary movement to develop while creating fresh grievances that strengthened the political forces against him. Most importantly though, he was attempting to reform a corrupt, repressive, outdated system that could not be reformed at all.

5. Although many different groups were opposed to the czar, the Russian revolution was successful because the group that ended up leading it, the Bolsheviks, were dedicated, well-organized, and well-led.

Answer 2

The collapse of the Provisional Government and its inability to practice the art of government! This in the middle of an enormous war caused problems that had to be addressed, and with no government capable of doing this the people had to look out for themselves! This caused the former establishment to resent the actions of the working classes,i.e. Councils and Workers Control of Industry and attempt to gain back that they had thrown away!

Answer 3

Nicholas was a weak leader.

Answer 5

The people wanted an end to Russia's participation in World War 1. They wanted an end to shortages of food and manufactured goods. They wanted land that was owned by the wealthy few to be turned over to the peasants that actually worked the land.

Answer 6

1. The industrialisation of Russia had created a working class who lived and worked in appalling conditions for almost nothing, and this was causing growing dissatisfaction with the autocratic government. These feelings were exacerbated by the vast wealth, greed and debauchery of the upper class.
2. The spread of new ideas in Russia, especially Marxism. People were supplied with an alternative system that promoted equality, fairness and justice. It was a conjured paradise in comparison with the situation they were currently experiencing.
3. Russia's involvement in WWI, though initially popular, quickly became a short-term spark of revolution. Losses in the millions and repeated national humiliations caused widespread popular calls for peace, and also caused anger and resentment in the suffering army; this last was critical, as it was the army that had supported the Tsar through challenges to this point.
