Empires Collapse Into Revolutionary Chaos
Nick Lloyd, Part Two: Lloyd examines how internal instability, marked by Rasputin's assassination, led to Petrogradbread riots and Tsar Nicholas II's abdication in early 1917. Kerensky's Provisional Government failed to stabilize Russia, allowing Lenin's Bolsheviks to seize power in November 1917 and sign the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty. Despite German victory in the East and Italy's disaster at Caporetto, the Central Powers collapsed in late 1918 under Emperor Karl. The war shattered four empires, leaving an unstable geopolitical landscape across Eastern Europe. (2)
