    Both the French and Russian revolutions had similar causes but ended up with different results. Both of these countries had different internal factors‚ which cause the results. The Russians had Lenin and the French had the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. I would also like to point out 1 more similarity between these two revolutions and that is the fact that both Czar Nicholas II and King Louis XVI were executed soon after the revolutionaries took power. It’s just strange to see how

The Americans fought not to seek to establish a radical new social order but it was the first successful war of national independence in the modern period in which it ended

    Farm was to portray the Russian (or Bolshevik) Revolution of 1917 as one that resulted in a government more oppressive‚ totalitarian‚ and deadly than the one it overthrew. Many of the characters and events of Orwell’s novel parallel those of the Russian Revolution: In short‚ Manor Farm is a model of Russia‚ and old Major‚ Snowball‚ and Napoleon represent the dominant figures of the Russian Revolution. Mr. Jones is modeled on Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918)‚ the last Russian emperor. His rule (1894-1917)

    Russia came to be because of a variety of different reasons. The revolution came about through a long phase of repression‚ unrest‚ and poverty for the average working-class Russian of the 20th Century. A long line of tyrannical Tsars had ruled the country self-interestedly for many centuries‚ and over 95% of the country lived under severe economic and social conditions. Like a bridge that has too much weight pressing down on it‚ the Russians were starting to break from the heavy burden of oppression and
