People were hungry, out of work, farms failing, and the Czars weren’t taking care of the people. They spent money like it was growing on trees. I was in Russia last summer and saw the vast wealth and palaces that they had. I can understand why the revolution happened after seeing the diamonds and gold they wore and the places they lived. The Russian people wanted a government that they thought would listen to them and do their business.
i belive that they dint have advanced weapons they went to war in horses and the other countries
had more advanced technology like tanks their weapons were allot stronger then theirs

The Russian Revolution is the collective term for the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917,The Soviets (workers' councils) which were led by more radical socialist factions initially permitted the Provisional government to rule, but insisted on a perogative to influence the government and control various militias. The February Revolution took place in the context of heavy military setbacks during the First World War, which left much of the army in a state of mutiny.
In the October Revolution (November on the Gregorian calendar), the Bolshevik party, led by Vladimir Lenin, and the workers' Soviets, overthrew the Provisional Government in Petrograd. The Bolsheviks appointed themselves as leaders of various government ministries and seized control of the countryside, establishing the Cheka to ruthlessly quash dissent. To end the war, the Bolshevik leadership signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany in March 1918. However a brutal civil war erupted between the "Red" (Bolshevik), and "White" (anti-Bolshevik), factions, which was to continue for several years, with the Bolsheviks ultimately victorious. In this way the Revolution paved the way for the USSR. While many notable historical events occurred in Moscow and Petrograd, there was also a broadly-based movement in cities throughout the state, among national minorities throughout the empire, and in the rural areas, where peasants took over and redistributed land.
