Exam 4, part 1

In both the Russian and French Revolutions the leaders were bad for the country. In Russia, the leader Czar Nicholas II had bad war tactics and the people frowned upon him. This reason was that he trusted Rasputin, the town drunk and partier, to take care of is hemophiliac son. King Louis XVI was similar to Czar Nicholas because he was a bad leader who the people absolutely hated. In both places the people of the town were extremely unhappy, this may have been because in both countries were very poor. But it's not like these leaders would really care anyways, as Louis' wife Marie Antoinette said when told about all the starving and cold people; "Let them eat cake."
During both revolutions the economic conditions were extremely bad. Even though the royalty were well off with money and food, the common people were extremely poor and could barely feed their families. In the french revolution, it was mainly the queen's fault. This was because she felt the need to have extravagant decorations and flowers. She also had her own little getaway home, while her country's people were out on the streets dying and starving to death. In the Russian revolution, they even had names for the two types of people who were fighting, the "reds" which were the poor people,or the Bolsheviks, and the "whites" who were the wealthy people. The Bolsheviks and the whites both killed people, but the reds won because they killed less people.
With the end of the French Revolution came with a lot of deaths, hungry and poor people. But by the end of the Revolution, France was a chaotic nation,much like the Russian. Because by the end of World War I the country had no real leader. Both revolutions severely changed things in the country and truly began a revolution.
