The Russian Revolution

The Russian revolution
The Russian revolution of 1917 was the result of several major problems of political, social, and economic nature such as the tsar and his ruling, Russia’s humiliation, and the peasant’s voices. One of the several major political problems of the revolution was the tsar and his ruling. The tsar was a horrible leader, one for leaving the tsarina in charge and two just a horrible at being a leader. This caused a problem because when the tsar went to the front lines he left the tsarina in charge and the town’s people didn’t like her ruling because she was horrible to the peasants and made society worse for the Russians, and another cause was that Russia was horrible at fighting in the wars that they have been in. to add to the political problems of Russia Rasputin came along, The tsarina gave Rasputin political power, while the tsar was gone, this hurt the peasants. This was a problem because peasants lost a lot of rights to land and other property which ended up causing riots and destruction of other property. The final political problem is that peasants wanted a voice in government. When the peasants wanted the voice in government this led up to a lot of bad things such as bloody Sunday where the peasants marched to the tsars palace to ask for a voice in government and end up being shot. This was a problem because it showed to the people of Russia that the tsar didn’t care about what the peasants had to say(but the tsar wasn’t there it was his guards who got freaked out and took care of it the wrong way). Russia’s social major problem was Russia’s humiliation. One of the problems was the Russian social hierarchy; this was a horrible system because the tsar, aristocrats, clergy were at the top and the peasants at the bottom at which were treated like crap by the people at the top of the system. Mainly the peasants were treated with abuse and were starved by the tsars’ actions because he loathed in the money and mainly sent some it to the army. Another problem for the social nature of Russia was that peasants wanted better working conditions. This was a problem because the government declined there request to better working conditions and this led up to them killing off their livestock which destroyed jobs and food for people. The final social problem for Russia was Russia’s fight for Korea. Russia’s humiliation for fighting for Korea proved to be a social problem because Russia lost the fight and it showed the Russia had bad leadership and didn’t know how to fight properly. Russia’s third and final problem was its economic nature. One problem Russia’s economy was that WWI was expensive for Russia because they misused money. This was a problem because many people starved at home and the soldiers died from highly deadly diseases because they didn’t have the right equipment (proper clothing and tents) to keep them warm. Another problem for Russia’s economy was Russia’s fight with Korea was expensive and it made no sense to go into another war because Russia was horrible at wars back then and more people were in need in Russia than going off and fighting another war. This was a problem because a lot of people died and the wars Russia fought in were dramatically expensive. The third and final problem for Russia’s economy was peasants’ income. The economy was bad enough from the governments misused money, peasants were asking for more money so they can support their families. This was a problem because so many people had to go without and it made society horrible because of all the communism and misuse of money. Russia has gone through some hardships with political, social, and economic natures such as the tsar and his ruling, Russia’s humiliation, and the peasant’s voice in Russia’s society back in 1917 during the Russian revolution.
