The main reason for the failure of the provisional government in Russia in 1917 was?
The Provisional Government tried to continue to fight the Germans in WWI. The Russian people were heartily sick of the war, which gobbled up Russian peasants by the million. This sort of leadership, which was so profligate of the lives of Russians and so expansively incompetent, was the prime motivating factor that led to the deposition of the Czar in the first place. When the Bolsheviks toppled the Provisional Government, they did not make the same mistake, and were going to make peace with Germany at any price, the price ultimately being a huge chunk of western Russia (retrieved and returned by the victorious Allied Powers at the Versailles Conference) and a near alliance with the former enemy Germans.
What is the relantionship between World War I and the bolshevik revolution?
Russia's involvement in World War 1 caused severe hardships throughout the country for various reasons. This led to demands by the Russian people in general (soldiers, workers and peasants) to demand an end to the war. Tsar Nicholas II's refusal to do so was one of several reasons that forced him to abdicate the throne in February, 1917 in favor of the Provisional Government. The Provisional Government also refused to end Russia's involvement in the war and eventually led to the October, or Bolshevik, Revolution. The Bolsheviks intended to end the war as far as Russia was concerned. Had the Provisional Government ended the war, it might have been more popular with the Russian people, which might have prevented the success of the Bolshevik Revolution.
