The Russian Revolution

The Russian Revolution was a very important time in Russian's history. It creates a new form of government in Russia. Before the Revolution czars used to control the whole country. They were like emperor. Czar's did not really do anything to help the country. They mainly cared about themselves and their family. So Russia was a very poor country and most of the people were starving and were poor. They needed somebody who can help strengthen the economy and its peoples. One cause was World War 1, this really was a blow to Russia because they did not have good technology and were already poor to afford one. A lot of people were losing their lives. The revolution was about the Russian people revolting against it's country to demand a better life. A man named Vladamir Lenin and his party the Bolshevik's got an idea about similar to Karl Marx idea of communism, and he thought this would help Russia a lot. He eventually took power and they finally had peace, land and bread which means they had peace with each other, bread they had food to eat and land to live on. Lenin created a form of dictatorship in Russia.

Causes of ww1

World War 1 was one of the most deadliest wars in history. Millions of people lost their lives.Many new deadly weapons were created like the machine gun, poison gas, planes, tanks, and submarines. One of the main causes of World War 1 was the assassination of the arch duke France Ferdinand. A Serbian assassin came and shot the arch duke and his family. Austria-Hungary got mad at Serbia so they declared war on them. But then the Russians got mad and declared war on Austria-Hungary. Then Germany declared war on Russia and France and Britain. This was like a chain reaction. This sparked all these countries to entering the war. Nationalism also caused the war because Nationalism is ones love for a country. Many strong Nationalist movements happened putting up signs and posters demanding for troops and alliances. Militarism also contributed because it is when a country creates weapons and gets ready to have war anytime. These all helped to cause World War 1.

The British offered the Chinese Opium, which is a used to make drugs. The Chinese agreed to trade only with Britain and no other western country.
