WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Economically, widespread inflation and food shortages in Russia contributed to the revolution. Militarily, inadequate supplies, logistics, and weaponry led to heavy losses that the Russians suffered during World War I; this further weakened Russia’s view of Nicholas II. They viewed him as weak and unfit to rule.

Detailed explanation-2: -The foremost cause of these shortages was the diversion of resources, production and transport to war needs, which left inadequate supplies for the civilian economy. The creation of a Special Council for Food in 1915, the imposition of rationing, and other measures did little to alleviate the problem.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Russian Revolution lasted from March 8, 1917, to June 16, 1923. Primary causes of the Revolution included peasant, worker, and military dissatisfaction with corruption and inefficiency within the czarist regime, and government control of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unrest in Russia, 1905 and 1917 There were food shortages and food prices rose, all of which created anger and unrest in Petrograd. The food shortages got worse due to the bad winter of 1916-1917, and soon there was famine in the cities. Russia was not prepared economically or militarily to fight the war.

Detailed explanation-5: -This was due to the government fixing prices at which the grains must be sold at very low rates. Peasants refused to sell their grain in the towns at such low prices to the government buyers. The towns faced a shortage of grains.
