The Significance and Factors of the October Revolution
Untitled Worksheet
Categorizing Factors Leading to the October Revolution
Source A: Excerpt from a historian's analysis
'The October Revolution was the result of a complex interplay of political, social, economic, and religious factors. Political instability and the failure of the Provisional Government created a power vacuum, while widespread social unrest and economic hardship fueled discontent. Religious influences played a lesser role but still contributed to the revolutionary climate.'
Ranking the Importance of Factors
Source B: A historian's opinion
'While economic hardship was critical, the most decisive factor was the political weakness of the Provisional Government, which the Bolsheviks capitalized on to seize power.'
Analyzing the Impact of Factors
Source C: A historian's analysis
'The economic hardships of 1917, including food shortages and inflation, played a vital role in eroding support for the Provisional Government, but it was the political chaos that enabled the Bolsheviks to act decisively.'
Justifying the Most Important Factor
Considering all the factors discussed, justify which one you believe was the most critical in enabling the Bolshevik takeover. Use evidence from sources and your knowledge.
