The Russian Revolution of 1917 were a series of popular revolutions in Russia, and the events around them. These revolutions had the effect of completely changing the nature of society within the Russian Empire and transforming the Russian state. There have been alot of deaths that Russia had saw. Czar Nicholes II brought Russia to WWI. After a while, the poeple didn't like him at all so they all wanted him gone.

Czar Nicholes II abdicated his throne and was later on executed. Russians had a revolution because they wanted a better government and wanted to end the war. In the begining, Nicholes lead Russia, but he wasn't good at it. The things that brought Russia to WWI was Militarism, Nationalism, the assasin of franz ferdinand, etc.


Militarism was when other countries from WWI were increasing militay power to fight againts their enemies. They even had plans to see how they were gonna fight in the war. Nationalism was something that the countries had in mind to caputre somefor their lands.

The most big reason that made Russia go into war was that Franz Ferdinand was killed by a serbian man. The Serbian man was in a group called the "dark man" which was his job to kill franz from going to other countries.
