some points or anything would be useful
To quite an extent it was the sole reason for the Revolution.
World War I saw Czar Nikolas mobilize a woefully unprepared Russian military for combat against well-trained German front-line troops. Their subsequent defeats and embarrassment sparked the flame that would become the Red Revolution.
By 1917, the Russian economy was in poor shape and near complete destruction because of the war effort. Food shortages were rampant which brought about civil unrest.
It would eventually lead to the abdication of the Russian Imperial Throne by Czar Nikolas II, the end of Imperial Russia, and deaths of the family.
The Russian peasants were starving to support the war effort. And all for a lost cause? Just imagine how long we'd stay in Iraq and Afghanistan if we actually had to pay for the wars!

Well the Germans deliberately sent Lenin back to Russia in the hopes that he would foment revolution so it was definitely a catalyst in that sense. Of course after a long and costly war there were plenty of Russians dissatisfied with the Tsarist government.

First, remember that the Tsar had done poorly in 1905 against the Japanese. So he then got involved in another losing war. People weren't happy about the great loss of life and other costs related to what seemed like a worthless cause for a second time.

Nicholas II being the last tsar of the Romanov dynasty that lasted for over 300 years, is accountable for the fall of the Romanovs in 1917, however, there are various other reasons too that involved in the ultimate fall of tsarism in Russia in February 1917. While Nicholas’s indecisiveness played a major role in portraying his negligence, the other factors that involved the fall of tsarism were, the declining economic standards and the growth of political opposition along with Nicholas II’s penultimate absence when he was most needed in his country, due to the involvement in the first world war, which was another mistake made by the tsar.…

In July 1918, the royal Romanov line was suddenly and brutally ended by the Bolsheviks. The Romanov family had ruled the Russian Empire for over three centuries. The Romanovs reign was one of strict tyranny. Tsar Nicholas II of Russia made one big step toward a more equal Russia by freeing the serfs but because the serfs owned no land they had little to no money still. After WWI when nicholas led Russia to a crushing defeat there was lots of unrest throughout Russia. I think that the main reason the Tsar was forced to abdicate the throne and then was slaughtered is that he made a more equal Russia but in doing so he made the serfs more impoverished than ever, that he had led Russia into multiple wars that had ended badly and that the technology…

The eventual growth of extreme dislike toward the Romanov dynasty was stimulated by Tsar Alexander II and his inability to satisfy the Russian people that resulted in the assassination of this Tsar. After Russia’s defeat in the Crimean War, Alexander II began his rule with a series of reforms to liberalize and modernize the archaic body of Russia, some including the emancipation of serfs and the elimination of corporal punishment. At this stage, Alexander was pleasing his people however, once his authority was challenged, he turned repressive, and responded by strongly opposing movements for political reform. After all, the Tsar’s reforms and promises did not erase the discontent felt by the Russians and most certainly did not strengthen the Romanov Dynasty as was planned. The assassination of the Tsar in 1881 was a result of this unrest and such an event highlighted the discontent amongst Russian society and hence was a long-term cause to the eventual decline of the Romanov Dynasty.…

This war changed completely the map of Europe and lead to the collapse of the Russian Empire that was already in an ill-state. Russia entered the war with a huge army formed by forcing working class and farmers to join. Although the Russian army was humongous in number, the soldiers were poorly equipped or not properly trained to fight. Many of them were sent into battle without shoes, food, and even weapons. Over the next three years, nearly 2 million Russian soldiers were killed in battle and nearly another 5 million were injured. The people of Russia blamed the Tsar for entering the war and getting so many of their young men killed. Later that year, two revolutions brought the Russian Empire to its doom. The revolutions were later known as the February and October Revolution. (Thoughtco,…
