The prior philosopher who most influenced Saint Augustine was Plato. Augustine was heavily influenced by Plato's ideas on the nature of reality, the immortality of the soul, and the concept of the Forms. Augustine also drew from Neoplatonism, a later development of Plato's philosophy.
Enlightenment thinkers influenced the colonists uprising prior to the American Revolution. The thinkers did not accept British rule just because they had always ruled. The thinkers challenged the authority.
Prior to the October Revolution of 1917, the capital was St.Petersburg. The capital was moved to Moscow after the Bolsheviks took power.
Russia, the United Kingdom, and France were members of the Triple Entente from the late 19th century until the Russian Revolution in 1917.
Russia had an autocratic government prior to the Russian Revolution, being ruled by one person, Tsar Nicholas II. It did have an elected body called the Duma, which was instituted after a small revolution in 1905 by Tsar Nicholas II, however it had virtually no power to make laws that the Tsar had to honor. It was more like an advisory body, so it cannot be said that it had a true democracy prior to the revolutions of 1917.
Russia had experienced widespread internal issues prior to the revolution. At the start of the war, Russia was a vast country with a huge army but politically and industrially backward. The Tsar insisted on autocracy, but was not a competent leader. In an ill-conceived and dangerous move, he took personal command of the armies after 1914. He and his wife were viewed seriously askance for their involvement with faith healer, Rasputin. Prior to the start of the 1917 revolution, Russiaâ??s economic state was so dire that food and fuel were scarce in the cities. The February Revolution led to the Tsarâ??s abdication and the rise of Russiaâ??s socialist government.
Prior to the 1905 revolution there was an absolute monarchy. Afterwards, a parliamentary body was created... and was disbanded not much later.
Prior to the Industrial Revolution, clothing was made by hand.
Saint Augustine was most influenced by the Neoplatonic philosophy of Plotinus. He drew heavily from Plotinus' ideas on the nature of reality, the role of the divine in human experience, and the concept of the soul's journey towards unity with the divine.
Somewhat. Russia tried establishing Western models but usually ended up creating its own thing. For example, during the Russian Revolution (actually prior to so), the two major political groups were Mensheviks and Bolsheviks. The Mensheviks wanted to establish a democratic government based on a Western model. The Bolsheviks wanted socialism and ended up creating (or more so what they falsely called) communism, which was based on Karl Marx's ideas. However, Marxism was developed in Western Europe, however, has not been established there.
