The Russian Revolution


The Russian Revolution was very important. It what changed Russia's government. In the old days Russia would have Czar's or Leaders. Russia had a Revolution because it was doing so bad. The people of Russia were being being controlled. The people were poor, starving, and barely had any hope in them. Czar's mostly cared about them and their families. They had no feeling for the people. The people couldn't wait until the revolution would start. So they started. The Russian People wanted to have peace and have everything going well in their country. They wanted change. Some important causes that started was the influence of World War One. Russia was losing so much people during this war. They were not industrialized. They had not much technology. The war was messing up their economy. That like i was saying the people revolted with Czar's. This is when a man named Lenin came with his group called the Bolsheviks. And he took over and was the new leader. He took the idea of Communism from Karl Marx he thought it was a good idea for Russia Government. And from that long time Russia is still a Communism Country. You can say now that Dictatorship was starting in Russia. When Lenin took over their was finally a peace in Russia. People were now happy with their government. Their economy was now on the right track. Lenin and his group the Bolsheviks had this famous saying that they made. "Peace, land and bread" It think this mean that thanks to Lenin and The Bolsheviks, Russia is now in peace which lead to their economy to go up and now they have anything they wanted now. Now they had more land which made Russia be normal again.

Causes Of WWI


World War One was a deadly war that happened. New army equipment were created for this war. Machine Guns, Poison Gas, Tanks and more. World War One also started to use trenches. Alot of people died during this war, there are many causes that started this war. One Very Important Causes that moslty started everything thing was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand On June 28, 1914. He was visiting Sarajevo. The Austria had many problems with Serbia, which they blamed them and this is what mostly triggered the War to start. When Austria demand war on Serbia then their alliance came in. Austria had Germany while Russia has with Serbia. And then so many countries came to this war. The war that started in Serbia and Austria changed in a chain reaction. Another important causes that happened during World War One was Nationalism. Nationalism is mostly the love of a country. This is mostly like racist was happening you can say. Because each country thought their country was the best. A lot of strong nationalist movements happened. Their were people demanding that they were the best. People would hang up posters and have speeches. And if another country would agree with them then they would form some kind of a alliance together. So they would have each other back with for example they went to war. Last but not least another important causes was Militarism. Militarism is moslty based of a government having a strong and huge military army and ready for war any time. During this a lot of new military technology was built. Like I was saying in the beginning machine guns were built and poison gas, tank and much more. Europe's military was very strong in every country. But this all caused a huge amount of Death. So these were the most important causes that caused World War 1 to happened.
