The Russian Revolution


The Russian Revolution was a series of three revolutions. It involved a czar(Russian word for king), the Bolsheviks, and the Provisional government. The Revolution took place because people wanted change to happen for their country. Czar Nicholas engaged Russia to WWI, several lives were lost, and victory seemed impossible. The war destroyed the economy and Russia lost a lot of land, just to get out of the war. Tension sparked and they kick czar out of his throne and killed him and his family.The February revolution was caused because of Tsar Nicholas II was removed from power. This was because he was blamed for all the crisis that had happened in WWI. Some of the major causes of the Russian Revolution was social and economic changes. Also because of political issues. The leaders of the Russian Revolution was Vladimir Lenin, Gregory Zinoviev, Lev Kamenev, Anatoli Lunacharsky, and Alexandra Kollontai. They were communist who opposed the war.
