Powerpoint Notes:
  • The Russian economy was in trouble due to the lack of industrialization and the large peasant population controlled by nobles.
  • The ruler, Czar Nicholas II was weak and autocratic, giving too much power to Rasputin.
  • Riots began in March 1917 where the army sides with the rioters, forcing the Czar to abdicate.
  • Led to a civil war for more than two years between the communist Red Army and the non-communist White Army.
  • The Soviet government became a threat to capitalism.
