The Russian Revolution

The Russian Revolution is a set of events leading to the their czar being overthrown and being replaced by a communist society. It began with the end of WWI, the Russians were suffered such a great blow that the entire country was in a state of famine. The workers demanded food from their government, which was being hoarded by their czar. Soon the people became fed up with the czar erupting strikes and revolts. The people captured the czar and killed him a year later. For the time being the government was being controlled as best as they could be doing. During this time a powerful and ruthless man rose to claim this throne, not in a literal sense. Lenin and the bolshlevik, using the communist manifesto as a guideline, took complete control over the government promising the people "Peace, Land, and Bread!"
