Question

1. explain how world war i helped push russia towards revolution.

Explanation:

World War I strained Russia's resources (e.g., food, manpower) due to military losses, economic collapse, and social unrest. The war exposed the Tsarist regime's weaknesses, led to food shortages, inflation, and high casualties, eroding support for the government. Military defeats (like Tannenberg) damaged morale, while the war effort disrupted agriculture and industry, worsening living conditions. This discontent, combined with the regime's inability to manage the crisis, fueled revolutionary sentiments, leading to the 1917 revolutions.

Answer:

World War I pushed Russia toward revolution by causing military defeats (damaging morale), economic collapse (food shortages, inflation), social unrest (worsened living conditions), and exposing Tsarist regime weaknesses, fueling revolutionary sentiments.
