The Tsar was a weak man.His wife was German(Alexandra of Hesse).Rasputin was accorded no power by the Tsar.
If Nicholas II had permitted the then recently established ‘Duma’,with Alexander Kerensky(leader of the Mensheviks) to continue,there may not have been a Russian revolution.
Tsar Nicholas closed it down.The only military that would have protected him was busy being defeated.
This set of circumstances led to the German speaking part of Switzerland,where Vladimir IIyich Lenin
was residing,securing passage for Lenin to St.Petersburg.
After the Russians surrendered at ‘Brest-Litovsk’,the Germans were defeated in the same year,with the Armistice signed(11th November,1918).Several months later,in Summer,1919,the ‘Treaty/Diktat at Versailles’ was signed.The U.S.A was the only country to help the Germans.With the onset of the Great Depression,they could do no more.
Paradoxically,it was the U.S military that helped defeat the Kaiser’s military in the west,with fresh supplies.
