Causes Of the Russian Revolution


The Russian revolution began because of the people being miss treated, having practically nothing, and being sent to war with absolutely no resources. Russia was falling apart. People were not going to put up with it for much longer. They had to fight to get bread, and bread was all they had. The people were angry. When large populations get angry, they rebel. The army at war was fighting with nothing. Their clothes were torn, most had no shoes because they had to eat them to survive, they had to follow each other around with 1 gun so that when the guy dies they can pick up the gun and keep fighting. Russia was in a war they were not prepared for, and the supplies sent from France and Britain were stuck at the ports. The Government was falling apart with the Tsar out at war and his wife leading the country Rasputin was taking over. The politicians had no interest in any public benefit. No one had a say in what went on. Rasputin had fired all of the politicians and replaced them with his own friends. They were using the government to get rich and benefit themselves. The people were angry. They began the Russian revolution.
