One reason for the fall of the tsar in 1917 is due to the economy. Russia’s economy was behind and undeveloped. Old fashioned farming methods were still used which meant produce was made slowly. Russia also didn’t make good use of its natural resources. This meant that Russia was behind all the other countries in Industrialisation. The bad economic situation in Russia is a reason for the downfall of the Tsar because he did nothing to try and boost Russia’s economy.
Another reason for the fall of the tsar in 1917 is social problems. The aristocracy in Russia made up 1% of the population but took up 25% of land. This meant, peasants were living on very small plots of land whilst the upper classes lived in extreme luxury. This led to the downfall of the Tsar because many peasants got angry. The Tsar, as head of the country, is meant to help and improve the unfair situation and he again did nothing. The working classes made up 80% - 90% of the population which meant that a lot of the country was affected and enraged by this. This point links to the economy because when the population started increasing there was less food available, production was already very slow due to lack of machinery so many working class families became starving.
A final reason for the fall of the Tsar would be the impact of World War One. The Tsar had decided that he would command the army. In one month alone, June 1915, there were a million deaths. The Tsar was blamed for this because of his lack of experience in leadership and army. I think this point also links to the economy because the frequent defeats and poor equipment was due to the fact that Russia was so undeveloped. If Russia had had better machinery, the quantity and quality of the equipment would have been much better, and many soldiers would have had a better chance of surviving the war under the Tsars unprofessional orders.
