Causes
Underlying Cause #1
The main underlying cause came after the Russian-Turkish War, the Russian-Japanese war, and World War I. These wars became hated by all Russian citizens, as they took a lot of money and resources to fund. The peasants were so poor and there were so many of them that they could barely escape famine between harvests. The working class was a bit improved from the peasants, but they still received low wages. All the people of Russia wanted to make a change for the better, especially the peasant and working classes.
Underlying Cause #2
Another cause of the Russian revolution was the leader. Tsar Nicholas II was the leader of Russia from 1896-1917. He ruled Russia all by himself, without even a secretary. His role was passed down to him from his father, and Tsar Nicolas was not fit to be a leader at all. He made decisions based on his personal gain and cared more about family affair.
Underlying Causes #3
The final underlying cause is the fact that the people of Russia felt that they were cast aside and disregarded. They knew their leader didn't understand the struggles they were going through, so they wanted to start their own government, which would be as equal as possible. They had lost faith in their country, so they wanted to take matters into their own hands. The people who were the most involved in this process were the Bolsheviks, who wanted to install communism into their society as the system of government.
