Russia in 1914 was a huge country ruled by Tsar Nicholas II as an autocrat. Most Russians lived in poor conditions as peasant farmers or urban workers. Nicholas II faced growing discontent as he paid little attention to the newly created Duma parliament. When World War 1 began, Russia joined the war but its massive army was ill-equipped, poorly led, and had slow logistical support, posing problems for Russia. Nicholas II took direct command of the army himself.

Background To The Bolshevik Revolution[1]
Russia had a history of autocratic rule where the tsar had unlimited power. In the late 19th century, Tsar Alexander III strengthened autocratic policies and cracked down on dissent. His son Nicholas II continued these policies in the early 20th century despite industrialization and the rise of revolutionary groups like the Bolsheviks led by Lenin. Growing unrest over Russia's poor performance in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, combined with harsh living conditions, weakened the tsarist regime further and set the stage for the Bolshevik Revolution.

Great themes during the 18th and 19th Century in Russia, list of Tsars. Time line of major events in World History. Examination of ties between the United States and Russia that are not well known. Russian origins, history, through Stalin
Russia has experienced several periods of political change centered around its major cities serving as capitals: Kiev, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and again Moscow. Each capital left its mark on Russian culture as the country expanded eastward under successive empires. However, Russia also experienced major setbacks from invasions by Mongols and others that caused it to fall behind the rest of Europe economically and socially. By the early 20th century, industrialization, losses in World War I, and social unrest combined to bring about the fall of the Russian monarchy in 1917.
Russia Slideshow
During the period from Peter I to Catherine II, Russia was transformed from a medieval kingdom into a modern European empire. Peter I initiated reforms like instituting a tax on beards and building a Russian navy. He also fought wars to increase Russia's territory and prestige. His successors like Anna and Elizabeth continued westernizing Russia and expanding its global influence through warfare. By Catherine II's rule, Russia had grown to its greatest size yet while its culture was largely westernized, though this change came at the cost of increased suffering for Russian peasants.
History of Russia (Until 1900s)
Russia's political history began with the Mongol Invasion in the 13th century, where forces of Genghis Khan took control of Moscow and established Tatar rule over Russia that lasted until 1480. During this time, Russia was isolated from developments in Western Europe. In the 16th century, Ivan the Terrible began expanding Russian territory but died with no heir, plunging Russia into civil war. The Romanov Dynasty was established in 1613 and worked to modernize Russia along Western European lines under Peter the Great in the early 18th century. However, periods of reform were often followed by repression, as under Catherine the Great in the late 18th century. Russian territory continued expanding eastward and southward during this period
Russian Revolution
The document discusses the revolution in Russia from 1917 to 1939. It describes how Czar Nicholas III was a weak ruler who was easily influenced and lacked governing experience. World War I greatly impacted Russia by straining factories, transportation, and the army. Nicholas II tried but failed to effectively address these problems. At the same time, Rasputin gained influence over Nicholas and his wife due to his supposed abilities to heal their son, which further weakened the Russian government. Marxists also persuaded industrial workers to join their cause. This instability led to the rise of Lenin and the Bolsheviks and the November Revolution in which they took control of Russia.
Babi Yar Massacre
The Babi Yar Massacre was the mass execution of nearly 34,000 Jews by Nazi Germany and local collaborators on September 29-30, 1941 at Babi Yar ravine in Kiev, Ukraine. Over the next two days, the Nazis systematically killed all the Jews they had forced to undress and gather at the edge of the ravine under the pretext of evacuation. In subsequent days, the Nazis killed thousands of Roma people, Soviet prisoners of war, and Ukrainian nationalists in the same ravine. The massacre was one of the largest single massacres of the Holocaust by bullets.

History of Poland, part I
The written history of Poland began in the 10th century, when the country was ruled by the Piast dynasty. In the 960s, Mieszko I converted Poland to Christianity. However, in the 12th century a king divided the kingdom among his sons after death, weakening Poland. In the following centuries, Poland prospered as towns grew and Germans immigrated to colonize new lands. However, the Mongols invaded in 1241-1242. The Teutonic Knights also threatened as they conquered pagan lands. Yet in the early 14th century Poland became stronger under King Kazimierz the Great, who expanded the kingdom and supported Jews.

The document summarizes the long-term causes that led to the collapse of the Romanov dynasty and Tsarist regime in Russia in 1917. It explains that the Tsarist system was outdated and unable to modernize like other European nations had. New modern forces like the middle class, industrial workers, and Marxism threatened the old institutions that supported the monarchy like the nobility and peasantry. Russia was also too large to govern effectively from one central authority, was economically and militarily weak, and contained many different ethnic and religious groups that lacked unity. The growth of revolutionary groups and a bourgeois middle class calling for democratic reforms further undermined the autocratic rule of Tsar Nicholas II.

22.5 russia reform and reaction
Russia industrialized and reformed more slowly than Western Europe for several reasons:
1) Russia had an autocratic government where Tsars ruled with absolute power and resisted reforms to maintain support from landowning nobles.
2) Russian society had a very rigid class structure in the early 1800s with serfs bound to the land at the bottom and resistance to change from nobles at the top.
3) While some reforms like emancipation of serfs were enacted under pressure, Tsars often reversed reforms to placate nobles, resulting in a pattern of reform and reaction under different rulers.

In February 1917, protests in St. Petersburg grew and the Tsar abdicated, transferring power to a provisional government led by Alexander Kerensky. However, this government remained unpopular for keeping Russia in WWI.

Russian Third Draft.
The Russian Revolution was caused by growing unrest against the oppressive rule of Tsar Nicholas II. [1] Factory workers labored for long hours in poor conditions and low pay and joined revolutionary groups like the Bolsheviks calling for change. [2] Figures like Vladimir Lenin and Grigori Rasputin influenced events, with Lenin leading the Bolsheviks to overthrow the monarchy and Rasputin gaining favor with the royal family. [3] This ultimately led to the deaths of Nicholas II and his family at the hands of the Bolsheviks in 1918, ending centuries of imperial rule in Russia.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
