The Russian Revolution.



The Russian Revolution had many reasons why it happened. Communism was first introduced by Karl Marx during the Industrial Revolution. Communism is where the people work and everyone gets the same amount of pay no matter what profession.
During this time, Russia would be ruled by kings known as Czars. Changes were needed to be made, just like they were during the industrial revolution.
Russia had more physical conditions such as diseases spreading, starvation, and were controlled by a Czar who kept sending troops into war only to get injured and die. Russia didn't have a stable financial system so they were not able to supply the soldiers with enough or needed weapons for war.
Soon the revolts the people had made caused the Czar to leave his throne following that changes were finally made to Russia's political system. A group called the Bolsheviks, which was led by Vladimir Lenin, took over Russia. He led his small group into a revolution against the temporary government made after the Czar had left his throne.
After the Bolsheviks won and defeated the temporary government and gave what they promised in that quote. Russia soon left World War One because of its own internal reasons. Lenin ruled over Russia after taking over the Government and forming his own kind with ideas from Karl Marx's communism. Russia became the first ever communist country.
