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.
