The war didn't cause the Russian Revolutions; there were two Russian Revolutions in the early 20th century: the 1905 Revolution which was not successful & the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution (Red Army vs White Army) which succeeded. The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 simply fuelled the 1905 Revolution. Example: It costs much more money for a nation to build Navy battleships than it does to build an Army. The Russians lost nearly a dozen battleships during the war, plus thousands of men; this fuelled the fire of revolution.
Deep enough that the Japanese covert operations most likely began prior to 1902 when the British alliance was signed. Japan would NOT have gone to war without that British agreement. With Japan operating in Britain, they also operated in Russia, financially; supporting any faction that was against the Czarist government...since Japan was to be at war with that government.

Germany invades Russia in 1941, but that is a long way from the Russian Revolution of 1917.

Yes, especially as they were supported by troops from many foreign countries, including Britain, France, Japan, the US and by assorted German mercenaries as well as by Russian supporters of the old regime. The Russian Civil War of 1918-1921 was vicious and was fought with the utmost savagery on both sides. The Soviet side had the advantage of inner communication, but the Bolshevik victory owed much to abilities and pragmatism of Trotsky who decided (in the face of much opposition) to strengthen the Red Army by recruiting former Tsarist officers.

this was a series of revolutions which dismantled the tsarist autocracy and set up a provisional government and later lead to the bolshevik government and paved the way for the USSR to be formed

This is not necessarily so, St.Petersburg, in Late Czarist times, was a European capital in the fullest sense of the term with all manner of such advanced convenienc es as telephones, pay phones in transit terminals, modern transit systems (RR, Trolley cars, subways under development) the Russian Navy had the advanced A-9 Fleet submarine with naptha-type engines and siphon depth breathing- she could do 26 knots on the surface, 23 at siphon depth(while recharging part of the battery plant) and only 5 fully submerged. The Sikorksy Grand of l9l3 was a four engined biplane bomber/transport superior to anything any of the Allied Powers had at the time. Czarist Russia, in the Big cities and defensive structure, was anything but backward. Rural Russia is something else, all countries have or had (Backwater areas or shall we say, Red Acres. but that is something else.

Actually, the year it began, from what I've read, is extremely varied. The industrial revolution basically could have started anywhere in between 1700-1800. I, personally, believe it started around 1800.

hey wassup i have nice answers for u but i cant tell u right now

My guess they'd all be dead by now. I mean we're talking about pre-Word War II by more than a decade in the case of the Civil War and even earlier in the case of WWI. The WWII generation even in America is dying out and suffice to say, conditions in Russia are usually not as nice as in the former Soviet Union. If you can find them, that's awesome, but maybe you should try finding family members of veterans first. Although I just checked Wikipedia, and supposedly there is a Polish guy who served with the Russian army, but he would be 106 by now and unfortunately it doesn't say where he lives except that he is probably in Russia (not that that helps a lot I know). Good luck in any event!

Background to the Russian Revolution is huge, however, mainly caused by massive discontent in the Nation. Led by an Autocratic, inefficient system, (where corruption and violence was extremely evident);

-peasants went without bread, land and fell into huge debts due to redemption payments,
-middle class pushed for a democracy so that they could have their say as to how to run the country, instead they lived with oppression and censorship,
-industrialists had to work long hours with low pay and poor living conditions The catalyst for the Russian 1905 'revolution' would be Bloody Sunday. A oeacful protest turned horribly wrong when (supposedly) the Tsar ordered the Military to fire upon men, women and children who asked only for bread and better living conditions. After a revolt, the Tsar issued the October Manifesto. This offered hope and promise to the people. However, a year later the Tsar practically withdrew his promises, letting the Nation down and causing the 1917 revolution that would change how the Nation would run forever. That's just the basic background to the Revoluntion/s.

Russia was doing poorly in the war, the Provisional Government refused to pull Russia out of the war, and began announcing new offensives. Soldiers didn't like the idea, so they began withdrawing from the army and protesting against the war, along with the Bolsheviks.

you didn't say which one, but the main cause was that peasants in Russia were starving because their wages were decreasing. this caused bloody Sunday (where tsar nicholas II killed hundreds of demonstraters). people were angry at this, and began to go on strikes. the tsar kept capturing and executing them until the death toll went into the thousands. after that, more and more people began to join the newly formed bolshevik government (also known as the soviets). it went from there.

The Russian Civil War ended in 1922, with the victory of the Bolshevik Red Army. After four years of conflict, the Bolsheviks successfully defeated the White Army and established Soviet rule over most of the country. The war resulted in the consolidation of power by the Soviet Union and the establishment of a communist regime.

As late as 1916, Lenin was still in a polemic against Rosa Luxemburg regarding when and where a workers' revolution should begin. By that date he was still following the Marxist line that surely England, France or even Germany would be the place of a workers' revolution.

The Communists were successful because they captured the imagination of the people. The Bolsheviks were successful in exposing the corruption of the Czarist regimes. As a result, those fighting for the royals or Czars simply did not stand a chance against the communist insurgents.

The Russian Marxists had remarkable goals as stated in their declaration of 1903. They envisioned the following after the overthrow of the Tsar:

1. Rule by the people and an elected assembly of law makers;

2. Direct elections by secret ballot, with suffrage for all, including women;

3. Widespread local governments;

4. The inviolability of persons and their homes; and

5. Unrestricted freedom of speech, press and the right for unions to strike.

It began when a few groups in Russia decided to try out communism, and then they were called the Red Army. The White Army was the group of people that were still either loyal to the Tsar, or they opposed Communism. It really broke out when the Red Army assassinated Tsar Nicholas, his wife Alexandra, their daughters Olga, Tatiana, Marie, and Anastasia, as well as their son Alexei and some of their friends and faithful servants, who were all imprisoned in the Ipatiev house. Then, of course, people went crazy, one party against another, with the peasants all over Russia playing a large part.

Yes. Hyperinflation started more or less at the same time as the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, and continued through the creation of the Soviet Union in 1922, not ending until the re-establishment of the gold standard in 1924.

There were no less than 3 separate attempts to re-denominate the currency, and the total change, at the end, was at a rate of 50,000,000,000 to 1.

Tsar Nicholas abdicated the throne during the February Revolution and was taken into the custody of the Provisional Government partly for his own protection and partly to keep him from being restored to the throne. He was held with the idea that he would be exiled to England, but the Bolsheviks took power from the Provisional Government in the October Revolution and forced the Provisional Government to hand Nicholas and his family over to them. In July 1918, during the Russian Civil War, the Bolsheviks murdered Nicholas and his entire family in order to ensure that he would never be able to come back to power again.

I think you mean effects? I dont know what an "immediate cause" is.

*Russia pulled out of WW1

*The Bolsheviks had to engage in a civil war against 14 industrialized nations including the US, France, Japan and England.

*The USSR was established.

Russia didn't exist during this time... Obviously...and there are no such thing as soldiers, especially not in Europe innand around wwi

They fought to overthrow the Provisional government and established communism in Russia.

The "Russian Revolution" that everyone is familiar with occurred in 1917. It consisted of two separate rebolutions, the February Revolution and the October Revolution.
