The Russian Revolution. It had long term causes and short term causes,
These are some of the long term causes. lack of democracy. The peasants were treated poorly for a long time. Russia was a police state: people were watched all the time. Even students were watched all the time. Czar refused to change Russia was. They wanted to keep it the way it was.
Some of the short term causes were millions of men were killed, injured or captured for questioning in WW1. This lead to a break down of the Russian army, there army fell apart. There was starvation. And they were freezing in the cities.
But why did the Russians have a revolution? They had a revolution because the Government had refused to listen to the demands of Russia's people. The revolutions was all about distributing the riches of Russia, they wanted to redistribute it away from the rich an towards the poor. This is why the slogan of the Communists was "Peace, land and bread"- Bolshevik. Peace because they were losing millions of men, Land because peasants were treated as badly, and Bread because people were starving in the cities.
This was the Russian Revolution and its causes.

Causes of WW1
What caused WW1? It was more than just one event that lead to World War One. There were three primary reasons for the start for World War One. those reasons were Nationalism, Militarism, the Assassination Of Franz Ferdinand, and the collapse of the alliance system.
The reason why Nationalism was a cause of WW1 was because Nationalism caused a problem for Austria-Hungary and the Balkans, areas comprised of many conflicting national groups. The ardent Panslavism of Serbia and Russia were willing to support its Slavic brother conflict with Austria-Hungary's Pan-Germanism.
The reason why Militarism was a cause of the was because All the countries inside the hostile camps were building large armies and navies during the pre-war years. As a result, a class of professional and powerful military officers developed and tended to control the civil authorities. In addition, before the event happened, the militarise of each country had drawn up complete plans for mobilization. These plans only awaited the go-ahead signal.
The reason why Nationalism was a cause was because it caused a political change. Which weakened the monarchies, and it uplifted two bitter appose ideologies. this was why Nationalism was a cause of WW1.
And the biggest issue for last. This is the last cause of WW1. This was The assassination of the Franz Ferdinand. Franz Ferdinan was assassinated along with his wife. Two bullets had shot him and his wife.
These were the reasons for WW1.
