Idk how important this is but i feel like russia was very religious and their war against the ottomans seemed very justified and necessary. Their fellow slavs were being massacred even in the late 1800s but they were hamstrung and humiliated by the western powers. I feel this caused resentment and isolation

>>18050230
Well, Russian monarchs tried to liberalize and were killed by anarchists. It seems that for some reason nothing was acceptable reform until Gommunism.
>>18050236
It was very religious until Gommunism completely destroyed it.

>Russia is controlled by german princes for 300 years
First russian monarch with german ancestry was Peter III and he ruled since 1762
>they fuck the country into absolute destitution and a string of suicidal wars
Russian Empire won almost all of its wars, and was about to win WWI before the revolution
>prots have enough and realise that you can just shoot kangs dead
Royal family was killed by professional revolutionaries, general population had no saying in this
>Did I get everything?
Nah, pretty poor understanding of the subject

Their poor performance in the war directly led to the revolution. Why do you think they were going to win?

Nigger please
>Why do you think they were going to win?
Because Entente won even without Russia, even though Germany was freed from the burden of Eastern front. In retrospective it obvious that Russia was on the winning side.

>muh fellow slavs
LMAO are you 5?
It was just expansion towards the straits.

The 1917 offensive went nowhere

If you count losing like 2 armies to the germans in east Prussia in 1914, saving the French then OK.

Russians lost like 10 million people without entering "Russia proper"

>>18051514
>The 1917 offensive went nowhere
Because it happened after the revolution when disintegration of the army caused by Provisional government was already under way
>If you count losing like 2 armies to the germans in east Prussia in 1914, saving the French then OK.
Russian offensive in the east forced germans to move much needed troops from France to save Prussia. Everyone at that time acknowledged that Russia saved France.
>If France was not wiped off the map of Europe, it was primarily due to the courage and steadfastness of Russian soldiers
Ferdinand Foch
>Russians lost like 10 million people without entering "Russia proper"
And?

>>18051697
Russian losses were so bad that people couldn't harvest food and peasants were wondering the land killing people for money and food. They did not perform well at all

>Russian losses were so bad that people couldn't harvest food and peasants were wondering the land killing people for money and food
Well that's a lie. Why are you faggot like that? Can't even have an honest discussion with your kind

>>18051717
If russia was doing good in the war the revolution wouldn't have happened

>>18051717
Also pretending that a victory against the A-H empire was a big thing is hilarious when Serbia beat them twice and on the third attempt it took a plague and 4 army invasion to defeat them

>>18051722
>If russia was doing good in the war the revolution wouldn't have happened
That is the most retarded statement, considering that leaders of the coup were afraid that if Russia would win a war under Tsar it will boost his popularity and will bury their republican aspirations.

>>18051723
>Also pretending that a victory against the A-H empire was a big thing
Why Italy struggled then?
It is funny that you didn't mention Ottomans as weak enemy. Probably something to do with disasterios and shameful defeat at Gallipoli

>>18051732
The whole reason the 1917 revolution happened was because the war destabilized Russian society to an extreme level.

>>18051741
Because Italy was even more incompetent than the Austrians

>>18051753
Maybe because they were fighting in mountains
