1917 FEBRUARY
REVOLUTION
ABDICATION OF THE TSAR
The Tsarsist Regime
,The 1917 February Revolution
, Eight Factors that led to the downfall of the Tsar:
1. Tsarist Russia was a huge country with diverse population, making it a very difficult country to
govern
2. In 1900, an overwhelming majority of the population were peasants
3. Russia was an autocracy, ruled by a tsar who was the head of a vast, unresponsive, and inefficient
bureaucracy
4. The tsar used repressive measured to keep control but despite this, a number of opposition
parties developed
5. N.II was an ineffective and weak leader, unable to cope with the pressure of modernizing Russia
whilst trying to retain autocratic institutions
6. The task of modernizing Russia was one that even the most able leader would have found
difficulty
7. N.II’s 1905 revolution was a warning of what was to come. He survived 1905 by making
concessions, but his unwillingness to make the move to be more democratic government would be
cause for the 1917 revolution
8. WWI put the Tsar and his regime under pressure and in Feb, it collapsed
