October Revolution Research Paper

With the October revolution in 1917, Lenin managed to execute a successful coup d’état against the provisional government of Russia and with the death of the constituent assembly early 1918; Lenin and his Bolsheviks had finally control over Russia. However this was just the beginning of various problems he would be facing. This raised the debate on whether Lenin could deal with these problems or not. Many of the quarrels originated from the Tsar’s regime and the provisional government such as Russia’s participation in WW1 as well as economic underdevelopment. Immediate problems such as the raging civil war existed as

In 1905, the social and economic tensions building up within Russia boiled over into Revolution. It was described by Lenin as the “Great Dress Rehearsal” for the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and may give us clues as to why the 1917 revolution started. The suggestion that Tsar Nicholas II and his actions were to blame for this revolution is debatable and there are many factors such as the repressive Tsarist system, the growth of opposition from the time of Alexander II and the defeat in the war with Japan to consider. These events can be separated into short and long term effects on the revolution. Bloody Sunday and defeat to Japan would be short term effects whereas the

The American Revolution was a political separation between Britain and the original Thirteen Colonies. It occurred between the years 1765 and 1783, resulting in a lot of bloodshed and casualties. With tension building between the two powers, the revolution was a battle that formed what America is today. The Boston Tea Party, the Boston Massacre, and the many taxes imposed are factors to what lead the colonists to form together and fight Britain. The reason why America won against its former owner is because of the alliance with France, the knowledge of the terrain, and the determination that the soldiers had.

The American Revolution changed the american society through social, political, and economic effects from the time period of 1775 to 1800.

On March 4th, 1776 Washington moved his army to Dorchester heights because it overlooked Boston. He placed his cannons and troops on Nook's Hill, which overlooked General William Howe's army. As the general awoke the next morning, he saw how the patriots were positioned and decided to retreat from Boston to Canada. This was significant because it forced a large British army out of Boston. This affected the colonists because now the place were the rebellion started was now in the hands of the Patriots.

The Boston tea party, was a pivotal point in American history. Nine artisan and shopkeepers gathered together to protest the unfairness of the stamp act started on may 16, 1773 . The nine were referred as the loyal nine, and later the Sons of liberty.

Rights movements are a big part of your history. Without them, our society would be totally different. Without Cesar Chavez, there would still be farm workers working unfairly in the fields. Without Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, the NCAA and many more, we would still be segregating busses, schools and public restaurants. Rights Movements are life changing events that happen like protests, boycotting and riots. The most famous riot is the Boston Tea Party. This was when patriots from Boston dumped tea into the Boston harbor to protest the tax on tea.

In the early 1770s, Many Americans continued to rebel against British strict enforcements of their policies. The presence of the army did not make it any better, either. Many of the colonists were talking about The Boston Tea Party taxes that would forever shape and change America. Many of the newspapers, pamphlets and public coffee shops were the news media. Early 1773 was the new act, The Tea Act, which caused more ruckuses. The East India Company needed to make money although they were the only company selling the tea in the colonies (7).

The Boston Tea Party is an idea that most people have heard about. It was indeed the first significant act of rebellion in the Revolutionary war era. However, freedom always comes with a price, and the colonists knew because of their uprising that they would be sure to pay it. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor, it must be demanded by the oppressed.” That is exactly what the colonists knew they must do.

During the Revolutionary era, the general public, or the working class, used violence to show their displeasure towards the financial wealth the elites had accumulated. Class resentment was as big of an issue during the Revolutionary period as it is today in the modern-era. One of the most notable was the attacks on theaters during the 18th century. Although there was an underlying issue of religion that came into play, there was also the fact that while the population starved, elites were able to frequent “large houses, [with] silver plate, fine furniture and good wine.” [pg 85] Countryman states that, “most disliked the theaters because of the symbolization – glittering ostentation and callous unconcern in time of distress” and when looking at the factors that facilitated the gap between the “haves” and the “have nots,” it should not be surprising that the conflict lead to violence and

The Boston tea party took place on December 16, 1773, when a protest against tea taxation became a law; the protesters threw many chests of teas into the Boston harbor. And started drinking smuggles tea. That’s when the Boston tea party took place in us history.

The reason I chose the American Revolution as my topic was mainly because to me I thought it was very relevant subject to speak upon and not many of us have knowledge of how we even became the United States of America. Basically the American Revolution was one of many steps taken to develop our democracy type of government that we do have today. Also it tells about how the original thirteen broke away from the British harsh government taxes. To be honest I chose this topic simply because it was and I’ve done a report on this back in grade school. These are the causes that led up to the war (not the signing because its already prior knowledge)

In 1917, in the midst of the Great War, Russia faced one of the biggest political shifts that the Tsarist-ruled country had ever known-the Bolshevik Revolution. There are two significant time frames associated with the Bolshevik Revolution. In the February revolution Tsar Nicholas II abdicated his throne and a Provisional Government took control. In the October revolution the Bolsheviks took power by overthrowing the Provisional Government. How did the October revolution become a reality? What factors facilitated the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917? Two important factors were the July event at Taurida Palace, and the Kornilov Affair. Richard Pipes describes in detail how Lenin influenced the Bolshevik party throughout the

The February Revolution was visibly larger, after the accumulation of all the issues that had been forming and developing since the debatable success of the 1905 Revolution. The revolution was enough of a success to remove Nicholas II from the throne, and create other reforms such as inputting a Provisional Government to take power (as well as a Soviet). In it participated people from all walks of life- the middle class, peasants, workers, and even soldiers. The October Revolution, on the other hand, was relatively small and less due to accumulated anger. The Bolsheviks seized the

  
        

      The February Revolution of 1917 was first of the two revolutions in Russia in 1917, the revolution which began the transformation of the country. As an immediate result of this revolution, Tsar Nicholas II decided to abdicate, which lead to the end of the Romanov dynasty. The Tsar was immediately replaced by the provisional government and at the same time the
