The main causes of the October Revolution was the failure of the Provisional Government and the strengths of the Bolshevicks, however this couldn’t have caused the war on its own, so there were other causes. These causes were the role of the people as a mass and world war one. These factors helped the Bolshevicks gain support. During the war Russia were suffering heavy military defeats, especially in the battle of Tannennburg. Due to this mass loss of lives that the Russian army had suffered, Russia’s position was in a very bad state and troops were deserting the army. The provisional government was failing to deal with the issues in Russia.
Russia was too weak to carry on fighting in the war. The soldiers and peasants did not want the war to continue, but the Provisional Government kept the war going and was alienating these people, and therefore these groups weren’t happy with the provisional Government and so they lost support from the troops. This meant that some were turning to the Bolshevicks. So here, the failure of the provisional government meant a loss of support from the troops. During the war, prices rose high because food and goods were becoming more and more scarce. The food was scarce because the transport system wasn’t very good and a lot of the factories were being used to make military goods to fight in the war with. These shortages led to inflation, the unemployment increased and a greater number of strikes. This obviously meant that the peasants were discontent and so were the working classes because they were being put out of work. This makes them more radical.
The Provisional Government didn’t really have enough power because this was held by the Soviet. This meant that they struggled to take action to the problems. Also by failing to give national minorities a degree of autonomy, they lost more support from these minorities. Kerensky also contributed in a big way to the failure of the provisional government; he didn’t realise the true strength of the Bolshevicks and moved against them in October. This gave them an excuse for seizing power, which gave them more support and allowed to seize power in the name of the Soviet.
The government was unable to solve the economic problems or end the war, the war was causing problems for the government and they were in-turn failing to deal with them. This meant that obviously the soldiers were discontent because they wanted the war ended, so they started to support more extreme parties because they thought the present system didn’t work.
The Provisional Government had many issues to deal with and they couldn’t really cope. There was the war, the economy and the land that needed sorting out. With these major issues not being sorted, the people involved were again becoming more discontent and so turned to extreme parties like the Bolshevicks. This is how the people as a mass links in, because it was the parties who needed their support and if they lost it they were nothing.
Gradually different social groups were getting discontent with the situation of the P.G. and wanted a change. The Bolshevicks could have provided this change if they got the support that they needed.
The Role of the Bolshevicks (The opposition of the PG) was one of the other main factors to why there was a revolution. They had a very big part to play in the revolution. They had much strength as a party to gain support and revolt. They had the ability to recognise where their votes could come from and then channel their slogans etc. to these groups. They were able to win the peasants support with their slogan “Peace, bread and land”. This was effective because during the war peasants were starving and had lost their land. They wanted the war to end so things could get back to normal and they could have things like bread and land. It was key to the Bolshevicks to gain the support of the peasants as they made up the majority of the population and had revolutionary potential.
They could gain the support of the soldiers because they wanted peace and the provisional government kept the war going. The “Peace” part of their slogan obviously appealed to the soldiers because they wanted peace, and so a lot of soldiers supported the Bolshevicks because of this promise that was made.
