The Russian Revolution was one of the most important revolutions in history and through our research about the Russian Revolution, we have found that there were at least three minor reforms that did not have much success. The Russian Czars were trying to industrialize and weren’t considering the liberal ideas of the French Revolution and the needs of the people. This leading us to believe that the events led to the beginning of communism.

The Russian Revolution mattered because it led to the creation of the Soviet Union and Russia became the first country to base its government on the writings of Karl Marx. Russia basing it’s government over those teachings was one huge step for communism in the 1900’s. In the Russian Revolution, average people fought for what the wanted and needed for a successful and fair state. Some even died on Bloody Sunday for things like: higher pay, shorter hours, and food which was at a major scarcity. And the Russian Revolution was the one thing that brought Russia’s involvement in World War I to an end along with capitalism, and created a socialist system that was to make one of the poorest countries in the world into a major country capable of destroying Nazi Germany. But it also made Russia kick start itself into the Industrial Age and grow its social tree of influence, which was why the revolution was so important. This social change created a lasting result and was a huge social gain and was very impactful not only in Russia but, also the rest of the world.
After the revolution, soldiers returned from the civil war and were in need for jobs but without war they had no orders to follow. They also needed homes, food and with the amount of soldiers their was all was short in supply of these things. So even the the war was over, the revolution had been resolved, not all was well and the people were no better off than they were from the start of the revolution. However, the people of Russia had changed the future of their country and the rest of the world the impacts of the people having power to rebel and start a revolution to recreate their own society.

The spontaneous protests in which workers and soldiers staged armed demonstrations against the provisional government headed by Aleksandr Kerensky began in Petrograd in July 1917 (thus the name July Days). The Bolsheviks ultimately went alongside these demonstrations although at first they were reluctant. The planned peaceful demonstrations went askew and confused clashes broke out and injured approximately 400 people.And so in conclusion these demonstrations just resulted in Vladimir Lenin having to be forced into hiding.

The Kornilov affair was a confused episode of August 1917 in Russia. The provisional government was under threat from its own army. For a few days, General Kornilov, a officer loyal to czarism, attempted to gather both troops and financial support so he could occupy Petrograd and restore the order. He stated he was acting on Kerensky’s orders however Kerensky denied these claims and this became a highlight of the weakness of the provisional government.

Nicholas II ruled the Russian Empire in which spanned one sixth the land of the globe. Later he lost support of the Russians after a protest went wrong when soldiers fired in to the crowd of hungry protesters. The poor had already been turned against for his lack of support of them. And subsequently, he and his family were murdered and overthrown by the revolution led by the Bolsheviks. Tsar Nicholas is a main player because he had control of the Russian Empire and his actions helped lead directly to the revolution.

In Russia, the February Revolution begins on March 8, 1917 when riots and strikes over the lack of food erupt in Petrograd. By this time Czar Nicholas II had lost his support of the Russians. The disastrous involvement in World War I was reaping chaos on the economy and people themselves. The protesters in the capital of Petrograd clashed with the police force and the blame for the actions of the police was put upon the Czar. He subsequently, left throne and ended nearly four centuries of czarist rule in Russia.

After the Tsar was abdicated he became the prime minister. While prime minister he made two critical errors. His first of two was keeping Russia in the war. His second error was not providing land to the poor. And by making these two errors he let Lenin capitalize on them and the Bolsheviks were able to more easily take power of the country. His errors leading to the power of the Bolsheviks make him a main component of the revolution.
