Nicholas was not fit to rule, he was just the air to the throne. Nicholas had no experience with attacking ruling or planning to running a country but it happened because of his family. He did not make the correct political or military decisions and this caused him to be a large factor of the Russian Revolution, and the Russo-Japanese War.]]> 2017-12-07 14:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanbunker/74vfitynby08/wish/214123277 ethanbunker https://padlet.com/ethanbunker/74vfitynby08/wish/214123838 Following the Russian rejection of a Japanese plan for spheres of influence in 1904, Japan launched a surprise naval attack at Port Arthur(Russian naval base in China). This event started the Russo-Japanese War. The war lasted throughout 1905 as the Japanese won a series of decisive victories. Three major Russian defeats convinced Russia that resisting Japan's East Asia designs was hopeless. The outcome of the Russian losses concluded that Russia's military was weak. This event is probably one of the least significant due to the time before the revolutions. But it did show that change was needed, unfortunately, Nicholas didn't get the hint.]]> 2017-12-07 14:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanbunker/74vfitynby08/wish/214123838 ethanbunker https://padlet.com/ethanbunker/74vfitynby08/wish/214124043 This event, Bloody Sunday consisted of the urban poor workers that wanted better pay and work conditions. The poor workers presented a petition to the Czar. The Czar was not at the palace at the time. The generals ordered troops to open fire on the innocent people. More than 500 innocent people killed on January 9, 1905 because of a protest. The Czar was forced to give up some power to the legislative branch called the Dumas, and this lead to the Abolishment of the Dumas.

Because of this, Austria declared war on Serbia. Needing help, Serbia looked to Russia. Nicholas agreed to help them in war, this marks the start of WWI. Russian troops were mobilized and by 1915 Nicholas had taken control of the army. The Russian troops were not as strong as the other countries and the war went badly for Russia with many casualties. Back at home, the citizens were becoming more and more angered with the deaths of their sons and fathers. Over 15 million men were drafted into the army and people were in need of resources. This made the people lose trust and liking towards the Czar.]]> 2017-12-07 14:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanbunker/74vfitynby08/wish/214124682 ethanbunker https://padlet.com/ethanbunker/74vfitynby08/wish/214124815 The Abolishment of the Dumas consisted of the large party of Dumas and Nicholas in 1906. In this event the Dumas wanted a constitutional monarchy that would leave Nicholas the Czar but reduce his power which was not ok. If Nicholas´s power was reduced the Duma would gain it. Nicholas did not want to lose any of his power so as soon as he had the chance he dissolved the Dumas. This angered the russian people and decreased their trust with the Czar even more and this was a breaking point which started the Russian Revolution.]]> 2017-12-07 14:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanbunker/74vfitynby08/wish/214124815 ethanbunker https://padlet.com/ethanbunker/74vfitynby08/wish/214125370 The February Revolution begins in February of 1917 because of food shortages and poor political decisions.

Czar Nicholas was not ready to rule the throne and was not fit to rule such a large country in the first place. He was destroyed in battles and disrespected in his decisions. In 1917 he was forced to abdicate the throne and leave the crown. After he was removed from the throne his family was killed in hiding. This event leads to the Russian Revolution because the Soviet Union feared that Nicholas would be rescued.]]> 2017-12-07 14:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanbunker/74vfitynby08/wish/214125624 ethanbunker https://padlet.com/ethanbunker/74vfitynby08/wish/214125807 The October Revolution consisted of the Bolsheviks revolting against the Russian government in November 7, 1917.
