Hello everyone, this is naughty looking at the world, I am naughty.
Before the beginning of World War I, Russia was a fragmented country. There was an irreconcilable contradiction between the rich and the vast majority of poor people, and the shadow of the battle made everyone breathless. In the end, the rising numbers of casualties shattered all possible compromises and brought the situation inside Russia into a critical moment in the spring of 1917.
Today we will introduce to you the February Revolution during World War I.
In Russia in the early 20th century, the economy, politics and society were shrouded in the shadow of division, and the civilian class struggled to survive in a repressed and undemocratic environment. At the end of 1916, Russia's casualties and captured people on the Eastern Front battlefield reached 6.6 million. In the eyes of the world,
Tsar Nicholas II , who was proclaimed as the supreme commander in September 1915, was a foolish monarch who was invincible at this time. As for the Tsar Queen who is a tyrannical woman who is a tyrannical woman who is born in Germany, the cryptocurrency who believes in playing with women, Gregory Rasputin, believes that he can help his son who suffers from hemophilia and is criticized for being closely related to it. While the first family and royal relatives were still living a wealth of wealth, the lives of the working people were getting harder and harder every day.
According to the Gregorian era, the "February Revolution" actually occurred in March, and the "February" is the date of Russian calendar . This is a sudden revolution that has not been carefully planned in advance. Starting from January 22, 1917, with the starting point of 140,000 people taking to the streets to march on the streets, socialists and workers organized a series of general strikes, igniting the flames of this revolution. On February 27, another 85,000 people went on strike. The turbulence continued until early March, when not only those who were extremely dissatisfied with food shortage joined the workers' ranks, but even the army in the capital refused to suppress the revolutionary masses. On March 11, the capital's guards revolted, and the flames of revolution became increasingly turbulent.
Tsar Nikola 's cabinet resigned collectively on the 13th, and Nikola, who lost the support of senior generals, had to announce his abdication on the 15th. Because the Tsar's younger brother, Grand Duke Mikhail, refused to ascend the throne, the Romanov dynasty ended here. The Nicholas II family originally wanted to go into exile abroad for the rest of their lives, but they were sent to the remote town of Siberia Yekaterinburg . The original first family has since been placed under house arrest in a heavily surveillance house and was murdered by their Bolshevik bodyguards in 1918.
The revolution in March 1917 brought a brief power vacuum to Russia. On the same day that Nicholas II announced his abdication, Prince Lviv established a free provisional government, but was immediately troubled by political radicals. The one who was most dissatisfied with the new government were the Bolshevik Party. This party was not large at that time, but was just a very inconspicuous small faction in the socialist camp of in Russia. The party's leader, Vladimir Lenin, was a charming man who was famous for his strong anti-war attitude, but he was still in exile in Switzerland when the February Revolution broke out. With the help of the Germans, Lenin returned to Russia in April and arrived in Petrograd on the 16th.
The next day, Lenin delivered a speech at Petrograd Soviet (Trade Union) - the content of this speech was later (April Outline). In his speech, Lenin called on the Soviets to seize power, reconcile with the allies, and advocated the real distribution of social wealth. His declaration attracted a group of like-minded socialists, and Lyon Trotsky was one of them. Although the Russian middle class responded quite coldly to this, Lenin's "April Outline" received support from the majority of people. The reason for this was the economic recession from the rear of Russia, and on the other hand, it was the failure of the offensive launched by Alexander Kerensky, the Minister of War of the Provisional Government, in July, which caused the morale of the Russian army to plummet. The attack launched by Russia failed for a few days, and the troops were defeated, and the number of deserters and rebels rose sharply.
Okay, let’s introduce to you today about the February Revolution in World War I. Hello everyone, I'm naughty, see you next time.
