The Actions of the Provisional Government
- After the Czar abdicated, the Provisional government tried to make peace with Germany to end their effort in the war, but the strick requirements that Germany place on the treaty in negotiation made leaving the war a poorer choice for the Russian government.
- As a result, the Provisional Government quickly replaced the Royal Family as the object of blame for the hunger of the Russian people.
Subjunctive question: What if the provisional government signed the treaty with Germany? Would this have encouraged or delayed the Communist revolution?
