The Feb./March Revolution started off as riots and strikes which then went out of control. With no leader, there was no political movement to control anything. This revolution had the aim to abdicate Tsar. The difference between the Feb/March and Oct/November revolution was based on the overthrown government and established. This lead to the Monarchy being overthrown and later being turned into the provisional government. However; the October revolution was taken over rather than established. 20,000 soldiers demanded that the Soviets take over the government and abolish the Provisional Government. The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, took over the provisional government, as a result of Bolsheviks government being established.

Immediately after the Russia Civil War Lenin faced many struggles. Lenin was the leader of the Bolsheviks and founder of the communist group in Russia. Britain, France and US were against him in his reign. These three countries were know as the "Whites" and the Bolsheviks were known as the "Reds". Lenin wanted to distribute land, nationalize banks, confiscate all private accounts. Lenin was then shot dead in 1921. After his death there was a power struggle between Stalin and Trotsky, the struggle between them was called "Guns or Butter". Stalin wanted to focus more on industrial, Trotsky was more focussed on consumer goods. This struggle for power lasted for 3 years, but in the end resulted in Stalin winning the upper hand. He therefore modernized Russia. Stalin changed Russia from a agricultural based country to a industrial based country for a series of five years. By 1935, Stalin made Russia the second richest industrial country in the world. Trotsky Lenin Stalin I really found the movie Enemy at the Gates interesting. Although I'm not a big fan of war movies because of all the death and gore, but the plot was still good. The movie portrays the hardships of the Soviets during World War II against the Germans. Throughout the movie the Soviets prove that they are faithful to their country and wanting to protect their land at all times. I gained knowledge about how the Germans fought, and how ruthless they are. |
