The Russian Revolution of 1917

June 15, 2008 by Marge Anderson

Though Russia was shaken by domestic crisis in 1914, the country greeted the outbreak of World War I with demonstrations of national patriotism.

The Duma supported the war, while the left-wing parties abstained from voting for war loans but offered to assist the national defense.

Yet it was the war and the regime’s failure to deal with the crises it provoked that precipitated revolution.
