ESSAY ON: The Russian Revolution

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. According to Edward Acton, author of Rethinking the Russian Revolution, the primary cause of the February Revolution of 1917 was directly due to the czarist regime collapse from the insurmountable pressure of World War I. Secondarily, the country suffered from a backward economic situation that proved impossible to overcome in the face of Germany's industrialization. Failure to take complete control in the February Revolution compelled Lenin to seek it once again in the October Revolution. The myriad interpretations of both the February and October Revolutions exact an image of dichotomy, in that some believe these two battles were paramount to Russia's very survival, while others contend that they could have – and should have – been avoided at all costs. No additional sources cited.
