Presentation transcript:

In, Nicholas II became the last Russian czar (king). Russia was divided into 2 groups -- the very rich and the extremely poor (serfs = peasants). In exchange for working long hours for a landlord, a serf received a small log hut, a tiny piece of land, and a few animals. o Most of the serfs’ crops went to pay the landlord’s taxes. o Anyone who resisted the rules was beaten o Many tried to escape, but few succeeded.

Russia lost a war with Japan, which angered many serfs and workers because their family members were forced to fight in the war. On January 22 nd, thousands of people marched on the Winter Palace to ask Czar Nicholas for reforms. Palace troops shot people in the crowd; this became known as “Bloody Sunday”. More and more riots began to occur after this…

In, Russia entered World War I but did not do well: o Millions of soldiers were killed, wounded, or missing, o people suffered severe food shortages, o and soldiers did not have enough clothes, shoes, or weapons to survive. Czar Nicholas ignored the signs that people were unhappy. He did not see that changes were needed in the way that his country was run

Riots in the streets began. o Women, factory workers, and farmers demanded a change. These groups greatly outnumbered the police, and the military could not keep the peace. Czar Nicholas was forced to give up his throne, and a weak government took over. o The Czar and his family were captured.

“Duma” = Russian Congress There were 3 attempts to make the Duma work, but each was too radical & still favored only the wealthiest Russians. In the end, there were just too many problems. Vladimir Lenin pushed the weak government aside and Communists took control of Russia. Czar Nicholas & his family were executed.

Lenin reorganized the country and named it the Soviet Union. Joined Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, & Ukraine Communism is a theory that says the government should own the farms and factories for the benefit of all the citizens. Everyone should share the work equally and receive an equal share of the rewards. This appealed greatly to many Russians because there was such a huge split between rich and poor. Lenin promised that communism would bring fairness and equality to ALL Russians.
