What were the long term causes of the march revolution?
Several causes led to the eventual overthrow of the monarchy, and the Russian Revolution. First of all, Nicholas II was a poor leader who refused to even consider private property ownership in Russia. The people of Russia had never been happy with his foreign born wife, and were further alienated by her attachment to the radical priest and healer, Rasputin. The Tsar had failed to update the railway system, which put Russia at a disadvantage during the war. He had put himself in charge of the military, and failed miserably. The country was racked by food shortages, and the factories were shut down. He ignored any suggestions by the Duma, and eventually was forced to abdicate, leading the way to the provisional government, and the beginning of the revolution.
Why did Americans fear the result of the Russian Revolution?
Lenin preached Marxism, which called for the overthrow of the capitalist society in place of a socialist one where the workers in the factories not the owners of the factories would be in charge. If this were to happen all owners would lose their property and all government officials would likely lose their jobs. Even some members of the working class did not trust the people who followed Lenin's beliefs, because they saw the possibility for the country to be taken over by socialists and change everything politically and economically that they had been used to and even preferred.
Lenin believed in worldwide communist revolution and created the Communist International to go into other countries to agitate for a socialist government. Once Lenin was in power, capitalist countries feared that he and his followers would come into their countries and stir up revolutions just like he had done in Russia.

These revolts spread to ther cities as well until Tsar Nicholas II became convinced he no longer had the power to restore order and that only his abdication would stop the revolt.

Did Czar Nicholas II ask for asylum in Great Britain in 1917?
he was the first cousin and spitting image of Britain's King George V so when the British parliament granted the czar and his family asylum the King had it reversed.

What happened after October Revolution in Russia?
the changes that took place in the Russian revolution were........
An elementary theory of property, believed by many peasants, was that land should belong to those who work it. At the same time, peasant life and culture was changing constantly. Change was facilitated by the physical movement of growing numbers of peasant villagers who migrated to and from industrial and urban environments, but also by the migration of city culture into the village through material goods, the press, and word of mouth.
Workers also had good reasons for discontent: overcrowded housing with often deplorable sanitary conditions, long hours at work (on the eve of the war a 10-hour workday six days a week was the average and many were working 11--12 hours a day by 1916), constant risk of injury and death from very poor safety and sanitary conditions, harsh discipline (not only rules and fines, but fore men's fists), and inadequate wages (made worse after 1914 by steep war-time increases in the cost of living). At the same time, urban industrial life was full of benefits, though these could be just as dangerous, from the point of view of social and political stability, as the hardships. There were many encouragements to expect more from life. Acquiring new skills gave many workers a sense of self-respect and confidence, heightening expectations and desires. Living in cities, workers encountered material goods such as they had never seen while in the village. Most important, living in cities, they were exposed to new ideas about the social and political order.[nb 2]
The social causes of the Russian Revolution mainly came from centuries of oppression of the lower classes by the Tsarist regime, and Nicholas's failures in World War I. While rural agrarian peasants had been emancipated from serfdom in 1861, they still resented paying redemption payments to the state, and demanded communal tender of the land they worked. The problem was further compounded by the failure of Sergei Witte's land reforms of the early 1900s. Increasing peasant disturbances and sometimes full revolts occurred, with the goal of securing ownership of the land they worked. Russia consisted mainly of poor farming peasants, with 1.5% of the population owning 25% of the land.[citation needed]
The rapid industrialization of Russia also resulted in urban overcrowding and poor conditions for urban industrial workers (as mentioned above). Between 1890 and 1910, the population of the capital, Saint Petersburg, swelled from 1,033,600 to 1,905,600, with Moscow experiencing similar growth. This created a new 'proletariat' which, due to being crowded together in the cities, was much more likely to protest and go on strike than the peasantry had been in previous times. In one 1904 survey, it was found that an average of sixteen people shared each apartment in Saint Petersburg, with six people per room. There was also no running water, and piles of human waste were a threat to the health of the workers. The poor conditions only aggravated the situation, with the number of strikes and incidents of public disorder rapidly increasing in the years shortly before World War I. Because of late industrialization, Russia's workers were highly concentrated. By 1914 40% of Russian workers were employed in factories of +1,000 workers (32% in 1901). 42% worked in 100-1,000 worker enterprises, 18% in 1-100 worker businesses (in the USA, 1914, the figures were 18, 47 and 35 respectively).[6]
World War I only added to the chaos. Conscription swept up the unwilling in all parts of Russia. The vast demand for factory production of war supplies and workers caused many more labor riots and strikes. Conscription stripped skilled workers from the cities, who had to be replaced with unskilled peasants, and then, when famine began to hit due to the poor railway system, workers abandoned the cities in droves to look for food. Finally, the soldiers themselves, who suffered from a lack of equipment and protection from the elements, began to turn against the Tsar. This was mainly because, as the war progressed, many of the officers who were loyal to the Tsar were killed, and were replaced by discontented conscripts from the major cities, who had little loyalty to the Tsar.
What role did religion play in the Russian revolution?
Political Muslims organized opposition to the Shah and took over the country.
They were called soviets.
Who does Napoleon the pig represent in the Russian Revolution?
The pigs represent the leaders of the Bolshevik Revolution and the Soviet Union. Specifically, Snowball was meant as an allegory to Leon Trotsky, and Napoleon was used to satirize Joseph Stalin.
What conditions helped bring about the Russian Revolution?
The war an its toll on the population was a major factor along with the fact that money that could've been used to help the peasants was used on the war. There wasn;t enough food because farmland had been turned into battlefields. And the government had been corrupted by one Grigorii Rasputin.
According to Ambrose Bierce, revolution can be defined as the process by which a corrupt government is replaced by an even more corrupt government. History generally confirms this jaundiced view, however, now and then a revolution works out more successfully, replacing a corrupt government with a better government.
