The Russian Revolution.

The Russian Revolution started because the Russian people didn't like how Czar was running Russia. While being in war the military hardly had food & were being killed by millions because of their low technology. Russia then decided that they wanted a new government called Communism. This cause to revolutionize & this is when Lenin and Bolshevik became leaders of the revolution. There was a March in which made Czar step down of the power & Bolshevik took over Russia. Lenin then promised & quoted "Peace, Land, and Bread." He promised them peace because the Russians weren't at rest. They were fighting World War I for a few years now. Lenin promised them land because they lost lots of land & getting it back would make them more successful. Lenin promised Russia bread because they were in a famine, meaning there were food shortages. They were suffering through starvation.

Causes of World War 1

World War I was the first great big war. The two sides of the fight was the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. The Triple Alliance included Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary & on the Triple Entente included France, Russian, and England. One of the causes of the war was imperialism because both of the groups were fighting over European territory. Another cause was the assassination of Francis Ferdinand in Sarajevo by a Serbian. Austria shortly attacked Serbia. After this attack from Austria, the Russian attacked Austria. Nationalism was a big cause of why the WWI started, because nationalism is taking pride of your own country & helping others when in need causing the other nations from the Alliance & Entente to attack.
