13. VI. How was peace achieved? What were the effects of the war?
Fourteen Points—
Wilson’s Plan , 1-5 –freedom of the seas, no tariffs, no secret treaties, fair colonial agreements, reduce arms; the next eight were new countries created after the war through Self-determination –The power to self-govern. Wilson wanted the new nations created by the Treaty of Versailles to govern themselves & the 14th was the League of Nations
The Provisional Government  is the name given to the government that led Russia from March 1917 to November Throughout its existence, the Provisional Government met at the Tauride Palace. By July it was led by Alexander Kerensky - the man who had informed the Duma on March 11th that 25,000 troops were on the way to support them.
The Provisional Government also committed two huge blunders:
1. It refused to give land to the poor peasants in the rural areas. This seemed to confirm the point above - that the Provisional Government did not understand the desires of the poor. To survive the peasants needed land and this was refused by Kerensky.
2. By far, the biggest blunder was the decision taken by the Provisional Government to keep Russia in World War One. This was a curious decision as the war was hated by the Russian people who had suffered greatly as a result of it.
