THE Russian Revolution

The Russian Revolution of 1917 centers around two primary events: the February Revolution and the October Revolution. The February Revolution, which removed Tsar Nicholas IIfrom power, developed spontaneously out of a series of increasingly violent demonstrations and riots on the streets ofPetrograd (present-day St. Petersburg), during a time when the tsar was away from the capital visiting troops on the World War I front. The Russian revolution was a great turning point in all of russian history. The people wanted their demands met or they where going to fight for their rights. Sound familiar? They swore blood would be shed unless all of their demands were met.

Causes of WW1

The main causes of WW1 was militarism and the fail of the alliance system. It was also caused by the grown hatred toward other countries which supported the rising of nationalism in European countries. Economic and imperial competition and fear of war prompted military alliances and an arms race, which further escalated the tension contributing to the outbreak of war amongst the countries. Another reason why WW1 broke out was because of the Assassination of Franz Ferdinand.
