Question

How did the First World War affect the industry in Russia??

Answer 1

Hey there!!!


=>> Morale was low after the Russians were defeated greatly by the Germans. The Tsar was on the brink of collapse before he abdicated in February 1917 before the Provisional Government took over. I can't really think of stats off the top of my head but Russia faced more deaths and injuries than the Germans did. The First World War was deeply unpopular within Russia and the Bolsheviks got their support in the October Revolution because Lenin promised to end the War. 

Hope it helped!!!☺️

Answer 2

Explanation:

• The First World War badly hit the Russian industries
• Russia's own industries were few in number and the country was cut off from other suppliers of industrial goods by German control of the Baltic sea.
• Industrial equipment disintegrated more rapidly in Russia than elsewhere in Europe.
• By 1916, railway lines began to break down. Able-bodied men were called up to the war.
• As a result, there were labour shortages and small workshops producing essentials were shut down.
• Large supplies of grain were sent to feed the army. Thus, bread and flour became scarce for the people in the cities.
