Provide and explain 3 examples that led to the overthrow of the Tsars
1. Alexei health 2. The middle and lower classes wanted more say in the government 3. Peace bread and land Peace! Land! Bread! This was the battle cry of the 1917 October Revolution (old calendar) that would changed the history of Russia and indeed the entire world - the cry of workers and peasants fed up with a failed system and the trials of war. Since the time of Ivan the Terrible, the Russian tsars had gradually centralized their power, leeching it little by little from the nobility. In a sort of quid pro quo of power and oppression, the tsars granted noblemen dominion over their land and peasants, making them henceford tied to the land. In Western Europe, we called this feudalism; in Russia, it became known as serfdom.
