unsatisfied workers
As we all know, the conditions of peasants in Russia were particularly unfortunate. They used techniques which were out of date and had to pay redemption payments to the state. They whole heart-idly hated the rich as they profited from work they hadn't even done. Rapid industrialization in the late 19 hundreds led to urban overcrowding -
World War 1
World War 1 is considered to be a cause of the Russian war. This is because it gave the people an incentive to rebel. As a result strikes became more likely and the people resented Nicholas even more. The demand for factory production of war supplies angered the urban workers and this led to riots and more strikes. Eventually, even the soldiers turned against the Tsar -
dual power
Nicholas leading the army in the battles was bad as he was blamed for when they lost.The soldiers whom thought to be loyal turned on Nicholas as there was such a small food supply.Many people carved for the war to end as it affected in ways words cannot describe.There were great shortages of food and supplies which led to more riots . -

As a result, Resputan was put into power having no leading abilities. This led to the people being infuriated and as a result them killing Resputan at a "party" -
Peasents

As a result they hoarded their food and refused to sell it to anyone. People working in factories also wanted higher wages. -
