Best Answer

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 did the factions fight over during the Russian civil war?

The faction in the Russian Civil War fought for control of Russia after the Bolsheviks ousted the Provisional Government. The Red forces fought for one reason, which was to retain control once they had seized control of the country. The White Forces fought for various reasons. Some factions of the White Forces fought to oust the Bolsheviks and reinstate the tsarist monarchy. Some White Forces fought to oust the Bolsheviks and institute a constitutional democratic government. Some White Forces fought to oust the Bolsheviks and institute a military dictatorship. Then there were the Green Forces, which seem to be forgotten. They were anarchists, but not in the sense of a lawless society. They fought just to be left alone by any Russian government.

What was the main reason of the Schlieffen Plan?

The main reason behind the Schlieffen Plan was to ensure that Germany could not be invaded from both the East (Russia) and West (France) simultaneously. The idea was to defeat France swiftly by cutting through Belgium, swiftly deal with the French and then to return to the eastern front to see off Russia who it was reckoned would take longer to mobilise. It was carried out in 1914 long after Count Schlieffen's 'retirement' and was the main reason Britain joined the war as they had an alliance with neutral Belgium to protect her if her neutrality was ever compromised by invasion.


Why was Russia part of the triple entente?

Becaus Serbia was controlled by Austria-Hungary before the war, however, Serbia wanted autonomy and independence from A-H. Serbia, having a similar Religion and language from Russia, knew that Russia saw them as a little brother, therefore, they killed the Arch-duke or A-H, Franz Ferdinand, and A-H was angered, and forced Russia to join the Triple Entente to face A-H, thus the beginning of the domino effect and the reason behind the Russian involvement.

Was Alexander Kerensky of the 1917 Provisional government in Russia successful?

No, Alexander Kerensky was not successful. Kerensky and the Russian Provisional Government which he headed were overthrown by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks in the October Revolution of 1917. Kerensky had failed to get Russia out of World War 1, failed to put an end to shortages of economic goods and failed to institute meaningful land reforms. All of these desires of the Russian people are what led to the February Revolution, the overthrow of the Czar and the creation of the Provisional Government in the first place. The main reason the Bolsheviks so easily seized control of the government from Kerensky was that he no longer had the support of the workers, soldiers or peasants of the country or of the various political parties that were trying to create a new permanent government. It has also been said that Kerensky had been undermined by various extreme socialist groups such as the Bolsheviks.
