Russian Revolutions

No, Catherine the Great ruled from 1762 to 1796. The Russian Revolution occurred in 1917.

The councils (called soviets in Russian) were of workers and soldiers. Initially the soviets were called councils of workers, but later on many soldiers joined them and the name was expanded to Councils of workers and soldiers.

During the February Revolution, Vladimir Lenin had been living in exile in Switzerland. Though historians disagree about specifics, they concur that the government of Germanydeliberately facilitated Lenin's return to his homeland in the spring of 1917. Without question, the German leadership did so with the intent of destabilizing Russia. The Germans provided Lenin with a guarded train that took him as far as the Baltic coast, from which he traveled by boat to Sweden, then on to Russia by train. There is also evidence that Germany funded the Bolshevik Party, though historians disagree over how much money they actually contributed.

No, WWI was

The most outstanding Soviet general in the Russian Civil War was Mikhail Tukhachevsky, who was made the first Marshal of the Soviet Union. His military thinking was in many ways ahead of his time. He developed Soviet paratroop units from c.1927 onwards, he stressed the importance of tanks and encouraged research into long range rockets already in the early 1930s. In 1937 he was accused of 'Trotskyism', tried in secret and shot. Working closely with Tukhachevsky was Trotsky, who was People's Commissar (Minister or Secretary) for War.

It showed the Czar's weakness and how the army wasn't prepared.

The Russian Revolution took place late in 1917, and was followed by a vicious civil war from 1918-21, which the Communists won. The 'purges' started in 1935 and were initially an attempt by Stalin to eliminate all opponents, imaginary as well as real.

The English Revolution is also known as the English Civil War, or Commonwealth period. King Charles I was challenged during this time, which lasted from 1640 to 1660.

The All Russian Peasants Union was founded in 1905. It's central committee met for the first time in Moscow from 31 July to 14 August 1905. This first committee consisted of eight people only 3 of whom could be term 'peasants.'

The West was elated at the outcome of the March Revolution. The only absolute monarchy in the Allied Forces had turned deomcratic. However, when the communist Bolsheviks took power in the November Revolution, the West was panicked. A Red Scare even erupted in the United States.

The positive effect was to rid the country of 300 years of autocratic rule by the Romanov clan, especially now that Nicholas II was totally incompetent at running the country. The expected result was that the people of Russia would now have a more democratic form of government in which they would have more freedoms. Too bad for them that it took 69 years and the break up of the Soviet Union before they got any semblance of democracy, because Lenin, Stalin and the rest of the Communist rulers betrayed the ideals of the revolution and became more repressive than the Tsars had ever been.

The first world war caused a lot of social instability which led to the revolution.

There is no one main reason for the Russian Revolution.

It's a critical combination of several reasons which caused it:

- Fast growing rural population which didn't have enough agricultural land (most country's land was possessed by the government and nobility landlords)

- Poor conditions of the urban working class

- Oppression of the educated ethnic minorities (especially Jews and Poles which became able leaders of the Revolution)

- Obsolete, authoritarian and ineffective political system which had a very narrow social base (nobility and large business owners) and alienated small business owners and the middle class

- Decline of the faith and moral norms due to the corruption of the Russian Orthodox Church and restrictions of religious freedom for other confessions

- Hardships of the World War I

- Millions of weapons available in the hands of the oppressed peasants and workers due to their conscription to the army

- Negligence and poor judgment of the last Tsar Nicholas II

All those reasons combined caused the Russian Revolution of 1917

Leon Trotsky was not apart of the October Revolution. However he lead the Red Army in the November Revolution as a part of the Bolshevik Party.

Leon Trotsky

The Russian Revolution happened in 1917, and World War I took place in the years 1914-1918. So therefore, they both influenced the other. The war helped bring about the Revolution because the leader of the Provisional Government, Kerensky, decided to keep the war going although Russia was doing poorly. He even announced a new offensive. The soldiers didn't like the idea, and refused to move up to the front, and about 2 million soldiers had quit the Russian army because of it. The soldiers and Bolsheviks campaigned against the war, and many were arrested. There was a conflict between the Bolsheviks and the Provisional Government, and on October 24-25, 1917, the Bolsheviks revolted against the Provisional Government and succeeded. Lenin, a Bolshevik leader, was given power. Lenin vowed to end the war, and was able to make a peace treaty with Germany, pulling Russia out of the war. Germany wanted peace in the east so their troops could be transferred to the western front. but Germany also wanted nationalist uprisings against the Bolsheviks, so the peace treaty was prolonged until early 1918, when Germany forced Russia to sign the peace treaty. Then, Russia was officially out of the war.

For a variety of reasons, including the dissatisfaction with the 1917 Provisional government that forced the Russian Czar to step down. Later that same year, Lenin and his Bolshevik Party staged the Bolshevik revolution, bringing about the dictatorship of the communist party.

the russian revalution is remembered by the people by history

The Civil War was fought between the communist Red Army and the tsarist White Army. The Bolsheviks were already in power when the war began. The defeat of the tsarists secured the Bolshevik's reign because it put down the other main political view in Russia.

Soveit historians think that Lenin was infallible and that he translated Marxism to suit 20th century Russian conditions in 1917. they believe that the revolution was necessary and inevitable. the most significant part, according to soviet historians, is the transfer of power. they believe that the acts of terror were justified yet after 1991 many began to question Lenin's motives

I don't now

Yes, It was based off the ideas of Karl Marx and Communism

EDIT:

The second Russian Revolution, the November of Bolshevik Revolution, was to instate communism. The first, the March Revolution, was to force the czar out of power and create a democracy.
