Revolution Of Russia In 1917

            This essay will talk about the Revolution of 1917 that took place in Russia. It will mainly focus on the following three topics: the cause of the revolution, what happened during the revolution, and the outcome. This paragraph will tell you about some of the causes of the revolutioin. The main causes of the Russian Revolution are deep in Russia's history. For years autocratic and repressive czarist regimes ruled the country and most of the population lived in bad economic and social conditions. During the 19th century and early 20th century, students, workers, peasants, and members of the nobility had various movements aimed at overthrowing the government. Two of these unsuccessful movements were the 1825 revolt against Nicholast 1st and the revolution of 1905, both of which were attempts to overthrow the government and make a constitutional monarchy. Russia's badly organized and unsuccessful participation in the World War I made the people hate the bad government even more. Russia's manpower was inexhaustible but the industrial production, which should have supplied the army, was poor so there wasn't much equipment for the soldiers. Russia's casulaties in World War I were greater than any other country has ever lost in a war. In 1917 all these things resulted in the overthrow of the czarist government and the establishment of the Bolshevik Party. The Bolshevik Party was a radical group of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. It wasn't that easy at all though.
             There were a lot of things that happened during the revolution. The revollution grew out of a wave of food strikes in Petrograd (Saint Petersburg) during February. On February 23 meetings and demonstrations occured asking the government for the right for bread. 90,000 men and women were on strike in the national capitol. The police tried to put an end to it but the people would not give up. Tension increased but there were no casualties yet.
