The Russian Revolution

The Russian Revolution was caused by the dislike of the Russian Czar Nicholas II. Russians weren't too fond of the way the Nicholos II was running Russia. Sending the Russian Army to World War I with little food, and very unprepared upseted many. As a counteract, a Temporary Government ruled Russia from March to November 1917. The temporary governmnet was predicted to be a change due to the fact it promised Democratic Elections and a release from World War I. However, the temporary government was unable to withdraw Russia. The Bolsheviks (Communists) defeated the democratic government lead by Lenin. Lenin promised Russians three important things: Peace, Land and Bread. On the night of November 6, the Bolsheviks attacked the Russian Capital with very little resistance. As a result, Russia became a Communist Country.
