The Russian Revolution

Why did the Russians have a revolution? The Russian Revolution took place in 1917, during the final phase of World War I. It removed Russia from the war and brought about the transformation of the Russian Empire into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics , replacing Russia’s traditional monarchy with the world’s first Communist state. The revolution happened in stages through two separate coups, one in February and one in October. The new government, led by Vladimir Lenin, would solidify its power only after three years of civil war, which ended in 1920. Russia is the world's largest nation. This was a communist nation and Karl Marx was the founder of this action or so called a type of religion. Some events that kind of caused this revolution was that Nicholas II the czar who led Russia in the years leading up to the revolution had personally witnessed revolutionary terrorists assassinate his grandfather and, subsequently, his own father respond to the assassination through brutal oppression of the Russian people. When Nicholas II himself became czar in 1894, he used similarly severe measures to subdue resistance movements, which were becoming bolder and more widespread every year. This made russia weaker so a person called Lenin came and took over the power and caused the revolution in February. Lenin was the one to say Peace, Land and Bread which then had Bolshevik to help him and this started people to become more communists. The revolution made Russia turn to the industrialized ways so they started becoming more industrial.
