Question

what are the couses of february revolution

Answer 1

1) The war contributed as one of the important factors that led to the 
February Revolution. 2) Russia was not successful in the war as they 
had lost many soldiers and was defeated at Tannenberg and Masurian 
Lakes. The inadequate supplies also contributed to this failure as 
soldiers could not even get the essentials they needed such as 
ammunition and boots. 3) This had a knock-on effect on the people's 
morale. The railways further made this worse as they could not meet 
the demands of the war. The citizens of Russia all wanted an end to 
the war as it was also causing inflation and food shortages back in 
Russia. The army had top priority of food supplies which meant the 
rest of the country would have insufficient supplies of food. Many 
strikes were occurring on the home front because of the food shortages 
such as the Putilov Steel Works on 18th February and International 
Women's Day on 23rd February which was protesting also about the lack 
of food and wanting an end to the war. This was all aimed at the 
Tsarist system because of its inability to distribute the food evenly. 
4) However, at the start of the war there had been a sudden rise of 
patriotic enthusiasm and united the Russian people.
