The Russian Revolution.

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.
