Causes of Dictatorship in Russia :: Russian Russia History

Causes of tyranny in RussiaAround the 20th century, the end of the first World warfare cleared the way for the formation of democratic regimes. Why they had not been successful, wherefore the people didnt use the opportunity to establish a democratic semipolitical system and why did the dictatorships appear, is still unclear, but it is a very discussible subject. The fatal role in these processes was the human being. It was the object of the cause, but on the some other hand he was also the subject - executor of all the problems as well. The First World War was expected to be short, with a quick hold on either side. On the contrary, the war caused a giant carnage to all the countries involved, and lasted for four years. Also against the expectations of political leaders and soldiery commanders rude(a) techniques of fighting were used, as well as new weapons (for example the chloric gas, tanks and aircrafts). overdue to all this, 13 jillion people were killed, of which 2 m illion were Germans, 1.75 million Russians, 1.5 million Frenchmen, 1 million British and 0.5 million Italians. But decease was just one of the worst consequences of the First World War. Just military failures on the fronts, along with other problems directly affected internal regime in a great way. This horrible catastrophe also remaining most of the countries in huge debts, especially Germany, Austria, Hungary, Russia, and many others. This led to pauperization and chaos, and the people were suffering. That is why they started to revolt, but the political system was so irresolute after the war that it didnt do anything to solve this. The effects of the war sped up the changes. It is an arguable fact, whether the war also had a liberating effect. If it did, it was greatly affected by the ruination of three empires, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Tsarist Russia and Keisers Germany. In Russia the tsar abdicated and was replaced by the conditional Government, but it only took 8 mon ths and Russia moved from autocracy to communism. It is true that this downfall separated and freed different ethnic groups like Czechs and Slovaks, Serbs, etc. who had been a discover of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, because these ethnic groups did get their independent states with democratic constitutions. Land was taken from the aristocrats and distributed to the peasants. The workmen got ruin conditions to work in, for example bigger salaries, less working time, social securities and so on.
