Detailed explanation-1: -The main reasons for dissatisfaction with the Provisional Government concerned its failure to tackle three main issues: continuation of the War. demands for land. economic and social problems facing the population.
Detailed explanation-2: -The provisional government became unpopular because landowners and the industrialists were influenced by the provincial government. They took such measures which angered the common people.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most pressing concern for the Provisional Government was its decision to maintain the war effort. This made the government extremely unpopular, particularly in April (forcing the resignation of Milyukov) and again in July (after Kerensky’s failed offensive in Galicia).
Detailed explanation-4: –The Provisional Government had no control of the army and had to ask the Bolsheviks to help it. This made the government seem weak AND made the Bolsheviks popular (they took control of the Soviets).-It was made up of too many political groups-it was hard for them to agree on policies.
