The 1917 revolution in Russia was a true display of the people’s anger. For years, the oppression that they suffered at the hands of the out-dated autocracy had left them with lots of energy to release, but with very little room to free it. The start of World War One was seen as a God-send for the Tsar, for it distracted the Russians from their incompetent ruler, and united them all against a common enemy: …showed first 75 words of 820 total…

…showed last 75 words of 820 total…did, speed it up. Even with the improvements, the Russians were very displeased with the way that their lived were being run, and it would only have been a matter of time before the Bolsheviks & the Mensheviks got their act together, and over-through the autocracy. I think it’s safe to say that by the mid 1920’s, Nicholas would have made a large enough blunder, to ignite the fire of revolution for one final time.
