  • TIMELINE of EVENTS March 1917 Tsar Nicholas Abdicates and The
    TIMELINE OF EVENTS March 1917 Tsar Nicholas abdicates and the Provisional Government takes over supported by the Soviet. It now has to deal with all the problems which led to the downfall of the Tsar – the war, food shortages and peasant demands for land…. April 16th 1917 Lenin arrives in Russia. He makes a speech demanding an end to the war with Germany, land for the peasants and nationalisation of banks. He insists that no support be given to the Provisional Government – instead the Soviets (there are Soviets in other cities) should get together and form a new government. These ideas became known as the April Theses. June 1917 The Provisional Government orders the armies to attack Austria. This fails and turns into a retreat. Soldiers began to desert in large numbers. Many go to Petrograd and join the Bolsheviks demanding an end to the Provisional Government July 1917 100000 soldiers and Bolsheviks are out in the streets demanding ‘All power to the Soviets’. These three days of rioting in Petrograd are known as the July Days. Kerensky sends loyal troops into the city to deal with the uprising. He claims the Bolsheviks have been paid by Germany to make trouble and Lenin is a German agent. Lenin has to leave Russia to avoid arrest and goes to Finland. Other leading Bolsheviks are arrested. The Bolsheviks have become unpopular and weak. August 1917 Kerensky become leader of the Provisional Government. He has to deal with a challenge from General Kornilov, Commander in Chief of the army who wants to take control.

  • 200 PUBLICATIONS of the the WAR and the WEATHER by WW
    200 PUBLICATIONS OF THE THE WAR AND THE WEATHER By W. W. Campbell One of the most interesting departments in the science of psy- chology relates to the mental processes of people in general as to the weather. ^Unusual weather^ occurs almost every year and the explanation is sought after. The idea is widely prevalent that the great war affects the weather mightily. The spring of 1917 was belated and cold in many countries of the northern hemisphere. uDon't you think that was caused by the war?" The month of July, 1917, was very hot. "Was not the war in Europe in some way responsible?" Soldiers in the Civil War have not forgotten that many of the battle fields were drenched with rain, and this they generally attributed to the artillery bombardments. Se\^eral factors are operating to produce the mental point of view described. People forget that unusual weather occurs almost every year in many parts of the world whether the years are years of peace or years of war. If snow had fallen in London in July, 1917, its cause \vould have been attributed to the war; the people forget that it snowed in London in July, 1888. If the thermometer in London had got up to 1000 Fahrenheit in August, 1917, the people would have suffered frightfully and the war would have been charged with the responsibility; almost nobody in London would have remembered that the thermometer got up to 1000 F. in 1911. The Civil War veterans will readily recall that their camps were deluged with rain a great many times when battles had not been fought.

    The Great War, 1914–1918 Previewing Main Ideas SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Advances in weaponry, from improvements to the machine gun and airplane, to the invention of the tank, led to mass devastation during World War I. Geography Which Allied nation could the Central Powers invade only by airplane? ECONOMICS The war affected many European economies. Desperate for resources, the warring governments converted many industries to munitions factories. They also took greater control of the production of goods. Geography According to the map, why might Russia have struggled to obtain resources from its allies? POWER AND AUTHORITY The quest among European nations for greater power played a role in causing World War I. By the turn of the 20th century, relations among these countries had grown increasingly tense. Geography Which alliance may have had the greater challenge, given the geography of the conflict? Why?

World War I has begun. You are the leader of a European country and must decide what to do. Your nation is one of several that have agreed to support each other in the event of war. Some of your allies already have joined the fight. You oppose the thought of war and fear that joining will lead to even more lives lost. Yet, you believe in being loyal to your allies. You also worry that your rivals want to conquer all of Europe—and if you don’t join the war now, your country may end up having to defend itself.

The notes below clarify phrases used in the parade banners. East St. Louis, Illinois race riot of July 1-3, 1917. After weeks of tension and attacks on blacks, spurred by the use of black workers to replace striking white workers in a plant processing bauxite for the war effort, a white mob set fire to the black section of the city and destroyed it. Black residents were brutally attacked and shot as they tried to flee the fires. The National Guard, called in by the mayor, proved ineffective against the mob violence. At least 39 African Americans were killed, and hundreds more were burned and beaten. Lady MacBeths of East St. Louis.
