  3. Revolutionary Rumblings • In 1914 the Russian Empire stretched from Eastern Europe to the Pacific. • Was still dominated by nobles, priests, and an autocratic czar. • Czars had made some reforms, but not enough to relieve the increasing pressure in the nations crisis. The elected Duma had no real power. • Revolutionaries began to hatch radical plots, some to overthrow the czarist regime. • In order to avoid Nicholas II’s secret police, revolutionaries worked under extreme discipline. They believed that a revolution would happen, but the time was not yet ripe.

  4. WORLD WAR ONE!!!!! D: • The outbreak of war in 1914 fired national pride and united Russians. Troops dashed to the front lines, but soon found that their resources were becoming strained. • By 1915 soliders had no rifles, no ammunition, and no medical care. By 1915, there were over TWO MILLION Russian casualties. • As a patriotic gesture, Nicholas went to the front line, leaving his distrusted German born Czarina in charge.

  5. World War I • Nicholas II’s wife/ czarina was distrusted by her subjects because she was German born and lived in Germany before the war.
