Based on events in history, the main cause of the Russian Revolution was food shortage and people being unhappy. The quote, “...growing civil unrest, erupted with chronic food shortages, erupted into open revolt, forcing the abdication of Nicholas II (1868-1918), the last Russian czar.” (“Russian Revolution.”History.com) basically tells us that the people were unhappy, mainly peasants because they faced a lot of economic problems.
