The Russian Revolution and the Birth of the Soviet Union

The Russian Revolution of 1917
1. February Revolution - Led to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the end of centuries of Romanov rule.
2. Driven by widespread discontent with autocratic rule, poor economic conditions, and the strains of World War I.
October Revolution - Led by the Bolshevik Party under Vladimir Lenin.
1. Overthrew the Provisional Government.
2. The Bolsheviks promised "peace, land, and bread," appealing to war-weary soldiers, peasants, and workers.

Example

The slogan "peace, land, and bread" encapsulated the desires of various segments of Russian society: peace for soldiers, land for peasants, and food for workers.

Establishment of the Soviet State
1. Civil War (1917-1922) - The Bolsheviks (Reds) fought against the anti-Bolshevik forces (Whites).
2. War Communism - Involved the nationalization of industry and the requisitioning of agricultural produce to support the war effort.
3. New Economic Policy (NEP) - Introduced by Lenin in 1921 to revitalize the economy. Allowed some private enterprise and small-scale private businesses.

Note

The NEP was a temporary retreat from full socialism, designed to rebuild the Soviet economy after the devastation of the civil war.
