Recommended: Lenin's effects on russia

In 1917 the people of Russia revolted against their who was at the time Tsar Nicholas ll in the February revolution due to his in-capabilities to rule effectively, which led him to be forced out of power and flee. WW1 was fought in 1914-1918 in which Russia was heavily a part of. The act of Russia being in this war led to millions of deaths. The leader at the time that decided to join and lose the war was Tsar Nicholar the second who was a dictator that was not prepared and also followed the autocratic government meaning he had absolute power over everything. He was a paranoid leader who was power hungry so much that he created rules to keep himself and power along with shooting his own people down. Since his inability to rule his citizens …show more content…

The tsar only cared about his power and not his people so much so he would sacrifice his own people to a war that if he thought about it more they could not win. An example of Tsar Nicholas ll being irresponsible and unprepared is in Ben Hartnell, 2011. Dr. Hartnell’s Education Revolution image that shows the reader the amount of deaths in ww1. Russia had the most casualties than any other country, being a total of 1,700,000 dead with another 5 million or so wounded, the war ended in 1918 when vladimir lenin pulled them out. This evidence furthermore expands the idea that the people revolting was good as Tsar Nicholas ll would still have stayed in that war if it weren't for the revolution that led vladimir Lenin in power it took them out of the war. So overall this text evidence shows that he was an inexperienced leader that caused many people to die. Alongside that he didn't even believe he was ready to be Tsar as stated in Tsar Nicholas II, letter to a friend, 1896 states “ “I am not yet ready to be Tsar. I know nothing of the business of ruling.” This demonstrates that he had a lack of confidence as he himself did not know how to rule. That lack of confidence would make him on edge about everything for example on Bloody sunday instead of listening to the protesters he shot them down. Overall showing that …show more content…

This is seen in “Pyramid of the Capitalist System” by Nedeljkovich, Brashich, and Kuharich, 1911 where it shows a majority of people either dead or barely up supporting the bourgeois above them. This develops the idea that the proetaliants were at the bottom of the food chain just waiting to die. So the worst thing that could happen when revolting would be to die and they are already gonna do that being in the slums. It was just a matter of time. Another reason developed through the article that justifies that russian people revolting is shown in Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto, 1848 where it states ““Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Working men of all countries, unite!” The line “lose their chains” develops the idea that the Russian people were tied down to russia and its laws along with the Tsars oppression and abuse. But if they did revolt against the tsar and won (which they did) they could lose their ties to the tsar. So overall the Russian people had nothing to lose except their lives which would already be lost with their ruler at the time, so revolting was a good

Nicholas II was extremely strict when it came to his government and as a result forbade any form of democracy in Russia and imposed absolute autocracy on all the citizens. His domestic policy was so strict political parties were illegal to form and he even made the Okhrana, a secret police that arrested and imprisoned any political critics, rebels, or those who voiced a negative opinion against the Russian autocracy. As a result, the citizens, especially those of lower class, despised the government and would often attempt to revolt. However, since the revolts were unorganized and ineffective, Nicholas II was able to end them very swiftly. After the defeat in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, Russia suffered extreme humiliation as well as economic decline.

In the interim of World War 1 Russia had been taking many heavy losses against Germany which attested that their armies were no match against the nations of central and western Europe, this in doubt affected their economy; the main cause of this is from bad leadership and poor equipment. There were many riots about very little food which caused the Crimean war (1854-1856) and on Sunday 1905 hundreds of protesters suffered from injuries or killed. The massacre leads to the Russian Revolution in 1905; these were different reasons why Czar Nicholas II had been

Furthermore, Nicholas allowed his country to enter two wars, the Russo-Japanese war and WWI, Russia being ill-prepared for the wars both times. The battles did not go well in either of the wars and his actions dealt great suffering to the people of Russia, especially the minority, or lower class. Although his country was in peril and he knew it, he refused to implement reforms. Tsar Nicholas II truly wanted to aid his country although his inexperience did not allow him to do so. Hence, this led to the murder of his family and the end of 3 centuries of Romanov ruling when the Bolsheviks took power of Russia.

“The czar refused to listen to demands for political change and in October, a general strike occurred as workers in the railways, industry and the banks stopped working” (document 3) A strike occurred because the czar didn’t listen to political concerns. This shows how unpleasant people were with the government. This can lead to the overthrow of the Russian monarchy. In document 3 it states, “...when a peaceful demonstration of 200,00 men, women and children in front of the Winter Palace in St Petersburg calling for reform was ended by the police and troops guarding the palace” Many people were unhappy with the Russian government and the fact the police were involved suggests how the government was willing to use force to stop political

Maybe he thought that by copying other successful tsars he could be one too. He much preferred spending time with his wife and children, a devoted ‘family man’, as shown in source 7, a royal portrait. The Russian economy was also declining and crumbling because of factors out of his control such as a series of failed crop seasons, which caused a lack of food sources, leading to inflation. There were also some political factors which may have led to the end of the dynasty, like the faulty legal system, which had no formal court of appeals who could look at and assess the Tsar’s laws. I also find it hard to believe that one person alone could cause such a downfall of a long established line of rulers, after all there were plenty equally, if not more, incompetent Romanov tsars who didn’t cause the collapse of the family.

The Russians Fight Back Three outcome and causes of the Russian revolution were the large amount of peasant population, Russia joined the war when they knew that they couldn’t even pull their own weight, and communism took over Russia.

The first months after joining the war were disastrous. The tsar had to steal from his people to give to the troops who had very little supplies.

This highlights the still present class system in Russia. Even though serfs had been freed they were still being treated as the lowest class, but in turn they were still free to vote and do everything any other free Russian citizen could do, in theory. Things were still unequal and life was hard for the serfs. Serfs who had recently been freed had no means for income and struggled to provide for their families. This arrangement worked in favor for the Russian government because the freed unemployed serfs would join the army and help Russia fight.

The main reason for the long awaited regime change was due to the hundreds of years of oppression of the lower classes of the Tsarist regime. For instance, an example of this was the fact that for centuries the tsar’s taxed the produce of peasant farmers to earn money to preserve his regime, and since the burden of all these taxes was so high multiple periodic riots were on the outbreak. To further this Argument another reason the citizens wanted to end the Tsar’s government was because of Tsar Nicholas II’s failures within the battle of World War I. Not only was the Tsar, Nicholas II incompetent to the extent he couldn’t manage to rule over his country effectively, he also made further poor decisions when it came to working within the government that slowly led to worsening relations with the government and increased deprivation for civilians and soldiers alike. This caused men to go off to wars with no ammunition, hardly any food, rags for clothes and if they were lucky somewhat intact shoes. Even though he made all these mistakes he refused to accept any redactions in the power he held.

The Russian Revolution, which was started by Lenin and his followers, was a rebellion that occurred in 1917 which forced higher powers to act to the needs of the lower class. For instance, many citizens were worried for their protection in consequence to the lack of survival necessities due to an early drought. Furthermore, their current czar during the time was incapable for his position as a czar and made horrendous decisions as czar. For example, when the czar, Nicholas, entered in World War I, he sent untrained troops into countless battles of failure which costed in mass amounts of lost life (paragraph 23).

The Russians did not hate the Tsar at first as they blamed their troubles on the government, however an event called Bloody Sunday changed their minds. Citizens began to protest outside of Tsar’s palace where many were shot and killed by soldiers. This turned them against the man they once trusted. World War I also occurred during Tsar’s reign and ultimately killed many unskilled and unequipped Russian soldiers. This caused the citizens to dislike Tsar even
