The Russian Revolution

The russian revolution is basically a chain of events that led up to a grand finale of violence and bloodshed, the marking of world one was a good spark and caused this bloody revolution. Soon enough people in russia were fed up of fighting wars and just gave up, however thier leader was ressiliant of it. So eventually the people became despret and rioted and did whatever they could to get the tzars attention. Which led to bloody sunday, which was basically a masscar of a bunch of russian citizens. this can be compared to the boston tea massacre in america in 1770.But eventually the russians couldnt take it anymore, this includes the people of law enforcement. Because even they became despret.

Causes of WW I

The main cause of World war one is the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. His death and his wife led to a congress which led to a conflict which ultimately led to a war. Some reasons also had to do with economic problems and conflicts or more disputes in other countries. For example the crisis in Bosnia and Africa led to ultimately conflict and a war over land and money. Also some countries were more prepared for warfare since they have heightened their defenses and weapons. This could be called a "arms race". Then came people nationalistic beliefs, for example if their country were to be invaded they would not stand back and let them be taken over by the enemy. Also most countries had alliances and unions since either their military was not power full enough or the county was a colony of the mother country. Eventually all these little things add up and build upon each other and you have warefare and crisis in other countries. These are the causes of WW I
