Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. According to Edward Acton, author of Rethinking the Russian Revolution, the primary cause of the February Revolution of 1917 was directly due to the czarist regime collapse from the insurmountable pressure of World War I. Secondarily, the country suffered from a backward economic situation that proved impossible to overcome in the face of Germany's industrialization. Failure to take complete control in the February Revolution compelled Lenin to seek it once again in the October Revolution. The myriad interpretations of both the February and October Revolutions exact an image of dichotomy, in that some believe these two battles were paramount to Russia's very survival, while others contend that they could have – and should have – been avoided at all costs. No additional sources cited.

rebellion. Pitted against this person, it is most difficult for other nations of the world to avoid conflict. It is here that the student will interject his/her own
view of the February/October Revolutions and state why this view is supported. "The divisions that would soon splinter the mass alliance of 1917, therefore cannot be traced to a
rigid and fundamental division between Bolsheviks on the one hand and the masses on the other. The Bolsheviks in 1917 were not alien beings; they were neither demonic nor
superhuman; the great majority were themselves workers and soldiers" (Acton 200). One might readily argue that the social structure from 1900-1914 was
