When Russia entered World War 1 in 1914 to when they left in 1917, they suffered numerous military defeats. They originally had made good progress when advancing into the German Empire, however, this advance stopped when they lost the battle of Tannenberg and the Masurian lakes. These were crushing defeats which brought heavy casualties, 4 million Russian men died in the first year of the war. With such a huge amount of casualties, it is obvious that Russian morale wasn’t at a high level. The low levels of morale weren’t helped by the appalling state of supplies to the armed forces.
This was vicissitude on the Confederacy, and it made them realize they had little prospect for the rest of the war. This pessimistic mindset added to the significance of this Civil War turning point. Another reason the Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point of the Civil War was how much hardship set in. According to Document C, many generals were killed. In the letters between Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis, it was mentioned that General Barksdale was killed, some generals were missing, and others were severely wounded.
How far was WWI essentially responsible for the downfall of the Romanovs in 1817? For years tension had been brewing due to many different aspects of life in Russia, like the personality of the Tsar, the inconsistency of the Duma and general weaknesses which prevented Russia in becoming a successfully developed and industrialised country. However other factors such as abandonment of the Tsars traditional supporters and the First World War would be considered very influential in building upon the social discontent and already existing issues which eventually lead to a consequential revolution as well as the end of Tsarist rule in 1917. Nicholas II, son of Alexander III, abdicated his throne and his haemophiliac son’s, who was too ill to serve as Tsar. The throne was then passed onto his brother Grand Duke Michael who refused, thus ending the Romanovs 300 year old rule over Russia.
it was seen as the government’s fault that the British had no reinforcements for the men who were dying, because back in Britain over 30% of the population was malnourished, ill and weak as they were living in abject poverty. This indicates that the Conservatives were poor in office as it ties back to them failing to conquer poverty because had the people in Britain been healthy and able to fight the Boer war may well have been over faster. The Conservatives also angered trade

Henry’s lack of political skill played a huge part in the feud between York and Somerset, which started in 1950 when Rouen and Normandy were lost to the French. This feud started because York blamed Somerset for the loss of Normandy. Which in 1453, he made clear by putting Somerset on trial for treason in France. Henry failed to resolve the feud between the two nobles because his personality wasn’t strong enough. This eventually lost him the support of York, after countless amounts of times that York attempted to prove his loyalty, which played a big part in his downfall because York was a very important noble.
Also the state of the country during World War One left a lot to be desired and created a lot of dissatisfaction amongst the Russian people. Tsar Nicholas II was responsible for the fall of the Romanov dynasty, but to a notable extent, as there were other factors more significant to account for the collapse of the Romanovs. It’s reasonable if one states that Nicholas II was responsible for stardom’s collapse. Many criticized the Tsar as a Monarch whose capacity for hard work and commitment wasn’t matched by outstanding intelligence, and had no clear vision for Russia’s future.

The fall of Rome torn everything apart and it was impossible to fix. The fall of Rome affected the Roman Empire. One of the most difficult problems was choosing a new emperor. The choice was always open to debate between the old emperor, the Senate, the Praetorian Guard (the emperor’s private army), and the army. The government was not designed to rule a large, polyglot empire and reform came too late.
Documents state that the citizens of Rome felt as if they did not have a say in politics. This caused them to feel specific ways about the empire. The empire began to struggle with military and tax problems but the people did not believe that Rome was worth helping. Rome's government did not help organize and protect people. Most citizens were serfs and farmers who survived on their own.
