The Russian Revolution

The Russian Revolution was a bunch of revolutions in Russia during the year 1917. The Russians demanded a revolution because Czar Nicholas II was preventing any change and stopped anyone who tried to take his throne. When Czar was finally removed a temporary government was created. Russia still continued to fight in WWI and refused to leave the war, the new temporary government created was a democratic government, but the peasants revolted against the landowners and factory owners.
In the revolution there was a clash between the democratic government and the Bolshevik party. The Bolshevik party then signed a treaty with Germany and left the WWI because they were no match for a country with so many power and weapons russians had never seen. The Bolsheviks used Karl Marx's idea of communism and formed their own government and this led to the first country using carl marx communism. The land part was for communism, the Bolshevik party led by Lenin who wanted all russians to revolt against landlords and factory owners and then take their land.
