The Russian Revolution

Russian Revolution
- The Russian Revolution consisted of 2 events; the February Revolution and the October Revolution. The February Revolution resulted in moving the Tsar Nicholas II from power and developed crazy street riots. The Russians were also part of World War I but then gave up because they had very little gun supply and weak armies. when the people in front of the line with guns died, the people behind them had to go and pick up their guns.

The Russians had a revolution because they did not like their leader too much (Czar). Some of the major causes that led to this Revolution was because of the major defeat of Russia by Germany. This caused food shortages, and loss of land. The Russians had a leader to their revolution, his name was Vladamir Lenin. He had the same idea ask Karl Marx and his communism. Vladamir Lenin was also the leader of the Bolshevik party, which was a communist party. During the Revolution the Russians killed their old king and his family.
