Upon seizing power in the October Revolution of 1917, the Bolsheviks implemented several immediate changes in Russia. They withdrew the country from World War I through the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, redistributed land from the aristocracy to peasants, and established a socialist government structure. They also sought to nationalize industries and implement policies aimed at empowering workers and consolidating their control over the economy. These changes aimed to dismantle the existing capitalist structures and lay the groundwork for a communist society.

What caused the Treaty of Brest Litovsk between Russia and Germany?

Russia was fighting in World War I and then members of what would be called the Provisional government caused the Czar to step down February Revolution in 1917. This new government was then overthrown in second revolution in October 1917, and the Bolsheviks (Communists) took control. While the Bolsheviks were against the war (they believed it was just capitalists trying to make more money), they also didn't want to make a deal with any of the old countries. When the Bolsheviks refused to make a treaty, Germany attacked Russia, and with their army wrecked by the war and revolutions, Russia was unable to stop them. They agreed to the treaty so that they wouldn't keep fighting a war that they were not going to win; Germany wanted the treaty so that they could move their armies west to fight France instead.

What was the 1917 victory of the Communists in Russia?

No, they were not. The czar was toppled in the February Revolution of 1917 when the army and police refused to obey his orders to quell rioting and demonstrations against his rule were going on in Petrograd, Moscow and other cities. An interim government called the Provisional Government was created to govern until a Constitutional Assembly could be elected to make a new constitution. The "communists" (at that time still named Bolsheviks) toppled the Provisional Government in the October Revolution of 1917. By this time, the czar had already been defeated and was no longer in power. So, to be precise, the czar was not defeated by the communists.


How did World War 1 affect the Russian Revolution of 1917?

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.

The ultimate victory of Lenin's Bolsheviks in Russia can be attributed to two distinct factors: First, the Communist leaders and ideas were both tremendously energetic, new, and captivating to Russian (and to some extent global) society.

Why did the Bolsheviks go through so much trouble to make sure that the bodies of the Romanoff family would never be found?

The Bolsheviks wanted to ensure that the Romanov family would not be looked upon as martyrs and that the Bolsheviks would not be looked upon as cold blooded murderers. Prior to the October Bolshevik revolution, it was expected that the Tsar and his family would be exiled to Great Britain. The outright murder of the Tsar and his family could have turned public opinion and support away from the Bolsheviks and toward the forces fighting to oust them.
