Long Term Causes Flashcards
What were the long term causes
Morale, hyperinflation, tsar, army, transport, food shortages
How is food shortages a long term cause
Because in many places it led to famine and upset among the people (Moscow and Petrograd)
How was transport a cause
Even though the trans Siberian railroad had been built, the trains couldn’t handle the amount of supplies that needed to be transported which led to problems with the army and food shortages
How was morale a cause
Morale is vital at this time period during the war and because people had low morale, it meant there were more likely for strikes to occur which later led to the feb Rev
How was the tsar a cause
He didnt have the central leadership the people needed, he refused to negotiate with non governmental organisations or the duma and he couldn’t stop the strikes
What is an example of non governmental organisations
Zigor
How was the army a cause
The people already had low morale due to food shortages and hyperinflation already so the fact that Russia wasn’t consistently successful in the war only increased upset
How was hyperinflation a cause
Hyperinflation meant peoples savings and money became worthless which caused many to struggle
