some points or anything would be useful
To quite an extent it was the sole reason for the Revolution.
World War I saw Czar Nikolas mobilize a woefully unprepared Russian military for combat against well-trained German front-line troops. Their subsequent defeats and embarrassment sparked the flame that would become the Red Revolution.
By 1917, the Russian economy was in poor shape and near complete destruction because of the war effort. Food shortages were rampant which brought about civil unrest.
It would eventually lead to the abdication of the Russian Imperial Throne by Czar Nikolas II, the end of Imperial Russia, and deaths of the family.
The Russian peasants were starving to support the war effort. And all for a lost cause? Just imagine how long we'd stay in Iraq and Afghanistan if we actually had to pay for the wars!

Well the Germans deliberately sent Lenin back to Russia in the hopes that he would foment revolution so it was definitely a catalyst in that sense. Of course after a long and costly war there were plenty of Russians dissatisfied with the Tsarist government.

First, remember that the Tsar had done poorly in 1905 against the Japanese. So he then got involved in another losing war. People weren't happy about the great loss of life and other costs related to what seemed like a worthless cause for a second time.

The peasants were starving while losing all of their young men to a European War. That is why John Adams decided to stay out of the French/British conflict and was chastised for it during an earlier time period.

In July 1918, the royal Romanov line was suddenly and brutally ended by the Bolsheviks. The Romanov family had ruled the Russian Empire for over three centuries. The Romanovs reign was one of strict tyranny. Tsar Nicholas II of Russia made one big step toward a more equal Russia by freeing the serfs but because the serfs owned no land they had little to no money still. After WWI when nicholas led Russia to a crushing defeat there was lots of unrest throughout Russia. I think that the main reason the Tsar was forced to abdicate the throne and then was slaughtered is that he made a more equal Russia but in doing so he made the serfs more impoverished than ever, that he had led Russia into multiple wars that had ended badly and that the technology…

World War 1 was a crucial and defining factor which led to the collapse of the Romanov Dynasty in February, 1917. Without it a revolution would not have happened at this point in time.

Nicholas II being the last tsar of the Romanov dynasty that lasted for over 300 years, is accountable for the fall of the Romanovs in 1917, however, there are various other reasons too that involved in the ultimate fall of tsarism in Russia in February 1917. While Nicholas’s indecisiveness played a major role in portraying his negligence, the other factors that involved the fall of tsarism were, the declining economic standards and the growth of political opposition along with Nicholas II’s penultimate absence when he was most needed in his country, due to the involvement in the first world war, which was another mistake made by the tsar.…

How far do you agree that the most important cause of the February 1917 revolution was the Great War
The Great War was the main cause of the February 1917 Revolution. The Russian army suffered badly in the First World War due to a lack of equipment, inadequate training and poor leadership. The Tsar decided to take personal command of the army. As a result, he was blamed for the army's problems and defeats. World War I was a total disaster for Russia due to the Russian army suffering defeat after defeat at the hands of Germany. Cost of the war led to the economic collapse which then led to more anger and outrage, this shows that the Great War started a chain reaction of problems for Russia. Morale during this time was at an all-time low and soldiers and civilians alike were looking for someone to blame. In 1915, Tsar Nicholas II took personal command of the army and left St. Petersburg and moved to army headquarters in Russian, Poland. Nicholas II may have believed that, by taking charge, his army would be inspired and would fight with renewed vigour, however this had the opposite effect. Unfortunately, the Tsar knew little about the command and organisation of large military forces, and the series of defeats and humiliations continued. The organisation of the Russian army deteriorated and there were massive shortages of ammunition, equipment, and medical supplies which led to possibly the largest asset Nicholas had, the army, to lose belief and faith in…

The eventual growth of extreme dislike toward the Romanov dynasty was stimulated by Tsar Alexander II and his inability to satisfy the Russian people that resulted in the assassination of this Tsar. After Russia’s defeat in the Crimean War, Alexander II began his rule with a series of reforms to liberalize and modernize the archaic body of Russia, some including the emancipation of serfs and the elimination of corporal punishment. At this stage, Alexander was pleasing his people however, once his authority was challenged, he turned repressive, and responded by strongly opposing movements for political reform. After all, the Tsar’s reforms and promises did not erase the discontent felt by the Russians and most certainly did not strengthen the Romanov Dynasty as was planned. The assassination of the Tsar in 1881 was a result of this unrest and such an event highlighted the discontent amongst Russian society and hence was a long-term cause to the eventual decline of the Romanov Dynasty.…

* Lenin had support of the Russian peasants, who made up a large portion of the Russian population. In March 1918, he signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, ending Russia's involvement in World War I and surrendering much of Russia's resources. The Civil War ruined Russia's economy.
