How did Kerensky contribute to World War 1?
Starting out as an anti war critic from within the Russian Duma, he over the years of war began saying that Russia could not just withdraw. The war was one of his most contentious issues when he was prime minister of the Provisional Government, and concessions made over this issue could have possibly prevented the Bolshevik led October revolution. immediately prior to his brief Prime Minister-ship lays his most direct addition to the war, the Kerensky Offencive. The concept was to give one large push that could hopefully begin the end of the war, while the offensive began strong it quickly fell apart. Kerensky's efforts entangled Russia even more into the war possibly further delaying the withdrawl by the Bolsheviks which took almost 6 months. In his memoirs he says hopefully that perhaps he delayed German victory long enough to allow the United States to enter the war. I think he is the only one that ever believed that.
