 * “The army had neither wagons nor horses nor first aid supplies…. We visited the Warsaw station where there were about 17000 men wounded in battle. At the station we found a terrible scene: on the platform in dirt, filth and cold, on the ground, even without straw, wounded men, who filled the air with heart-rending cries, dolefully asked: ‘For God’s sake order them to dress our wounds. For five days we have not been attended to” ﻿ **

From the dialog above, you may notice how the army was treated badly by the Tsar.


 * The Workers - **

Some main effects that cause the majority of peasants to stand up and protest in the revolution because the effect of food shortage and also fuel shortage. The last country that get involved in the war was Turkey. Turkey is very important for Russia because they have the last trade route. Without Turkey's trade route, Russia need to make food for their own people. But because of the population, causes the food shortage. The thing worse than food shortage is because they have food but the transportation to send those foods to the people in the city nor outside of the city had failed.


 * The Middle Classes - **

The Middle class had some effects but not as much as the workers and peasants. Some activists were scared when they heard about report telling how the soldiers were treated. Also, industries were complained about the fuel shortage and not enough workers.

Junior officer which in the future will be the next generation of the aristocrats class, were suffered from the war. Also, their estates had no workers because the war causes 13 million people to died. The serious issue is that their was a rumour about Rasputin over the government of Russia. It might not be true but people were scared. The issue was so serious that group of leading aristocrats murdered Rasputin in December 1916.

** Challenge Question: ** To what extent did the WWI had lead to the March Revolution 1917?

The World War I had lead to the March Revolution in a great extent in terms of The Tsar's fault and fuel shortages. The reasons that the war were the major problem that lead to the March Revolution are because at first, the Tsar joined the war which causes food and fuel shortages between the country. Also, people such as the peasants and the workers could not afford on buying goods and food for them to eat. The reason was because the price that controlled the value of the products keeps going up and the goods are need for the people in Russia. The third reason is mainly the Tsar’s fault because he didn’t support all his people but he supported only some individual group such as the high class and some middle class. This cause anger to the lower class people and they start gaining people to revolt. The soldiers that fought in the war didnt get any care and support from the Tsar. However there are causes that didnt come from the war, the Tsar make the peasants overwork and pay low wages in the year between 1905-1914. He supported more about industrialization and as I said, he did not support the low class very well. So in 1917, after the war, more than 300,000 people come out and protest, and that causes the downfall of Tsar Nicholas the II!
