The Russian Revolution

It all started when the Russians went into WWI. They were not prepared for this war; over four million men have died in the first year of the war against the germans. later on February 1917, Czar Nicholas had dethrone himself because he could not know what to do anymore. The government could get there selves out of the war.Workers and peasants revolted against the landlords and factory owners. Peasants expropriated (or took over) land and factories were closed when workers refused to work. People in the city started to starve and the economy was getting destroyed. The Bolsheviks used this to there advantages and defeat Russia. In the end Russia have turned their government into communism and made the peasants work in the farms and the workers gained control of the factory. This brought peace into Russia.

Causes of WW I

There were multiple factors that caused WW1. One of then was when Francis Fernidad was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist on June 28, 1914 in Sarajevo, Bosnia. After that Austria-Hungary was able to find an excuse to make Serbia an enemy and declare war on them. Even the Germans pressured Austria-Hungary. Other factors that caused WW1 was imperialism. The Industrial Revolution forced European nations to go overseas and search for raw materials to make products. European nations got some of their raw materials from Africa, and the European nations competed for land in Africa. Britain and France talked things out, but later on there were tension between Germany, Britain, and France. Even becoming allies were one of the factors. The Triple Alliance was formed which was composed of Austria-Hungary, Germany, and Italy. While they were allies Germany and Italy were suspicious of each other because of the Balkans.
