In early July 1917 in Russia the new Provisional Government that took control after the abdication of the Tsar launched a major offensive in the war effort in Galicia in hope it would increase its power and influence, it was disastrous and in Petrograd dissatisfaction with the regime culminated in the spontaneous July Days riots, by industrial workers and soldiers. The revolutionary group the Bolsheviks lead by V.I.Lenin seized upon this and introduced a new slogan "Peace, Land and Bread". On the 7th of November that year the Bolsheviks stormed the Winter Palace seizing power in Petrograd, Lenin set up his new government called the Sovnakom (Council of People's Commissars). But he knew that to stay in power he had to push ahead with the measures he had promised: to end the war (peace), to give land to the peasants (land) and to get food to the cities (bread). Otherwise, his support would disappear.

In the first year of the war Russia had lost 4 million men, by 1917 the situation on the war front and back at home was becoming worse. With the 15million men being taken out of the farming industry to fight in the war food shortages became apparent. Bread rations had gone down for 1 ounce per a day in March to ¼ of an ounce per a day in October for the people at home. Fuel also along with food had been diverted to the war front, which led to cold hungry people at home becoming desperate and wanting for the war to end. Conditions on the war front weren't much better and Lenin knew that Russia had to pull out of the war. With Lenin's promise of 'Peace" he had gained many supporters who had wanted the war to end. Thus when Lenin finally became in power he had to keep this promise or he would of lost much of his support and may have lost power.

Lenin sent his Commissar of war Leon Trotsky to meet with the Germans and negotiate a peace treaty. Trotsky at first walked away from the meeting because he thought the Germans had demanded too much in the treaty. However, Lenin told Trotsky that he must sign the treaty because he knew that the Bolsheviks would only stay in power if the war were to end quickly. The result was harsh- 'The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk' that was issued in March 3rd 1918 marking Russia's final withdrawal from World War I as an enemy of her co-signatories, fulfilling, on unexpectedly humiliating terms, a major goal of the Bolshevik revolution of November 7, 1917. But although the fulfilment of peace was completed, the very land given up had great economic importance, as they were some of the most fertile farming areas in Western Russia. Lenin did argue that the treaty was harsh but with the withdrawal of Russia from the war it meant he could focus more on maintaining his power and fulfilling the other promises.

When the Tsar had abdicated on the 15th or March 1917, the peasants believed that at last they could achieve their dream - to own their own land. But the Provisional Government would not give it to them. So Lenin promised in his slogan "Peace, Land and Bread" that if the Bolsheviks were to gain power they would redistribute land to the peasants and give them power within their rural communities and they would set up workers soviets in factories which would work to improve the working conditions and general lifestyles of those who worked in the industrial cities. Such a mixture of beliefs was genuinely popular in both urban and rural areas and it also ensured that the Bolsheviks appealed to the two largest social groups in Russia. So in November after the Bolsheviks had assumed power, a decree was passed taking all the land away from the Tsar and the old landlords. Land was given to the peasants, who would form committees to divide it up evenly. With the majority of the population in Russia being peasants it was certain that Bolsheviks needed to appeal to them to gain their support. The offer of land being given back to the peasants was an important factor in the Bolsheviks gaining power.

By 1917 hunger and starvation was gripping Russia. Food and fuel supplies had stopped being sent to the cities and were on train to the war front to support the soldiers fighting in WW1. Many people in Russia were sick of the war and sick of being cold and hungry. Food rations had become very strict and people had become desperate. When Lenin introduced his slogan "Peace, Land and Bread" he had promised to get bread to the cities. When he came into power he made it an absolute priority to fulfil this promise. But when peasants didn't want to sell their produce at the prices demanded by the Bolsheviks because they believed they were to low and they would be unable to make a living of the income, so he sent out the 'Cheka' to take it the food by force. The Cheka was Lenin's secret police that arrested people who were considered dangerous or doing the wrong thing. So although food was sent to the cities to feed the hungry, peasants weren't happy with the prices paid for their goods. Yet it was still essential that the Bolsheviks promised what the majority of people wanted. And that was bread.

The Tsarist rule in Russia had already been overthrown in the February Revolution of 1917, but the problems that had led to that revolution persisted even with the new government. In three words, Lenin captured the needs of the Russian people and convinced them that he and his Bolsheviks would satisfy their demands to the extent that many but not all were willing to support him in setting up another government. But he knew that to stay in power he had to push ahead with the measures he had promised: to end the war (peace), to give land to the peasants (land) and to get food to the cities (bread). Otherwise, his support would disappear. Lenin did fulfil these promises and they were a huge factor in his party gaining the support he needed to take over the Provisional Government.

'Urban' used in conjunction with mpg typically refers to the fuel consumption of the vehicle driven in city or town conditions. This normally involves stop/start driving, braking and accelerating and little cruising at optimal fuel consumption speeds. Vehicles use more fuel in urban driving conditions than when cruising on the freeways. Manufacturers normally provide "urban" fuel economy figures and "combined" figures. The latter refer to a combination of town driving and highway cruising, arguably a more accurate reflection of the vehicle's fuel economy than its optimal (cruising) or worst (urban) consumption.

Mstislav Rostropovich was born on March 27, 1927.

Outwardly, yes and then mostly where the upper classes of society were concerned. New buildings were built in the Western style, Court and nobles dressed like their Western counterparts and started to talk French; and their wives came out of the womens' quarters where they had been virtually locked up until then. Also, Russia adopted several 'Western' techniques, especially where the army and navy were concerned. Other things remained much the same: the ancient feudal structure with its many millions of serfs and much of the fatalistic ( and some would say 'serf') mentality that persists in Russia even to this day.

After the two victories, in particular that of Chancellorsville, Lee was inclined to put in motion the plan for the invasion of Pennsylvania, which was abandoned after the Battle of Antietam.

But the sudden plunge of the events on the front of the Mississippi, many Confederate military leaders wondered if the project of an attack in Pennsylvania was the wiser.

Among them was General Longstreet, who after Jackson's death was the most influential and the most skilled among Lee's lieutenants.

He was of the opinion that it would have to attack in Tennessee against General Rosecrans. For this purpose he proposed to concentrate not only the few troops

that Johnston had at Jackson, Mississippi, but also the entire I Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia. This could have been implemented exploiting the favorable location of railway lines. By so doing it would have been concentrated against Rosecrans about 100.000 men of which Lee would take command. Meanwhile Vicksburg would have been able to resist for a while and a strictly defensive should have been held on the Virginian Front

The attack in Tennessee would have broken through the center of the enemy front, isolating their wings ( deployed in Virginia and Vicksburg ) compelling the Union to draw Grant from Vicksburg to plug the leak.

The idea was submitted to the judgment of Lee and the Confederate High Command and Government, which ruled that the offensive had to be set off on the front of Virginia, because it was believed that a great victory won there would have not only given a mortal blow to the North, but also obtained for the federal recognition of France and Great Britain.

At age 31, she published her first anthology of poems. It gained much praise by other author's of the day. The title poem "Goblin Market" is her best known work and has been the subject of a great deal of analysis. However, when she died in 1894 of cancer, her popularity faded along with many other Victorian works. It wasn't until the 1920s that her work was rediscovered and she was placed among the ranks of Victorian canon.

One of the most positive outcomes of the WW II were the elimination of radical regimes from Europe. Post WW II most of the nations in Europe progressed, sans the eastern European countries which fell under Soviet Influence and could not benefit from the economic revival. Demise of imperialism was also another positive outcome of WW II. However, the immediate onset of cold war after WW II hurt the gains of WW II.

Vladimir Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Party with many thousands of followers. In 1917, they staged the October Revolution and deposed the existing Provisional Government, which had been set up after the Tsar abdicated the previous March. The Bolshevik Party with its military force, the Red Guard, took over all organs of government and declared itself in power. Most people were glad to see the Provisional Government go, so they did not rise to its defense. The Bolsheviks were in power but barred all other political parties from participating in the government.

The Russian Civil War broke out but Lenin's Red forces defeated the opposing White forces. During the Civil War, more than a year after the Tsar had stepped down and about nine months after the October Revolution, Lenin ordered the execution of Tsar Nicholas and his entire family. Once the Civil War was over, Lenin and the Bolsheviks were in sole power over Russia.
