There may have been many reasons for this; the serial authoritarian regimes‚ the guillotine or the Reign of Terror. This essay will argue how revolutions always fail to change the underlying structures of authority.

How far do you agree that the most important cause of the February 1917 revolution was the Great War? The February Revolution of 1917 brought the 300-year-old Romanov dynasty to an end. I believe that the immediate cause of the February Revolution of 1917 was the collapse of the Tsarist regime under the gigantic strain of World War I. The underlying cause was the backward economic condition of the country‚ which made it unable to sustain the war effort against powerful‚ industrialized Germany. All
