- Causes of October/November Revolution
- The events of the Bolshevik Revolution that began on 25 October 1917 were the culmination of developments since the abdication of the Tsar back in March
- Reasons for the revolution
- Weaknesses of Provisional Goverment
- Political manouevres of Bolsheviks
- Defeat in WWI
- Deteriorating economic situation
- Resentments of soldiers, peasants and workers
- Kerensky was well aware of the dangers posed by the Bolsheviks, yet he seemed powerless to do anything to stop their assault.
- When he did on 23 October it was to stop the activities of Pravda and Izvestia as an attempt to restrict their power
- Also sent troops to raise the bridges linking the working class area of Petrograd, which was a Bolshevik stronghold
- However he was stopped from doing this by the Bolshevik-loyal troops who claimed his actions to be a betrayal of the soviet and abandonment of Feb/March Rev principles. Kerensky's move thus gave Bolsheviks incentive
