5. what type of government was established in russia as a result of t russian revolution?

Explanation:

1. Facing severe internal economic collapse, food shortages, and the ongoing strain of World War I, the Russian Communists (Bolsheviks) shifted focus to consolidating power within Russia, stabilizing the economy, and addressing domestic crises rather than promoting a global Communist Revolution.
2. Czar Nicholas II was removed due to his poor leadership in World War I, which caused massive military losses and economic ruin, widespread food shortages and civil unrest, and his failure to address the population's grievances, leading to the February Revolution of 1917.
3. The Germans helped Lenin travel to Russia during WWI because they believed he would disrupt Russia's war effort. Lenin's anti-war stance and push for revolution would weaken Russia, a rival Allied power, and take pressure off Germany on the Eastern Front.
4. After taking power, Lenin pulled Russia out of World War I by signing the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918, which ceded significant territory to Germany and its allies in exchange for ending Russia's participation in the war.
5. As a result of the Russian Revolution (specifically the October 1917 Bolshevik Revolution), a socialist/communist government (the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, later part of the USSR) was established, led by the Bolshevik Party, based on Soviet (council) rule and Marxist-Leninist ideology.

Answer:

1. Internal crises (economic collapse, food shortages, WWI strain) forced the Russian Communists to shift focus to consolidating power in Russia instead of promoting a global Communist Revolution.
2. Czar Nicholas II was removed from power due to his disastrous leadership in WWI, widespread economic hardship and food shortages, and his failure to resolve growing civil unrest, leading to the 1917 February Revolution.
3. The Germans helped Lenin travel to Russia because they believed he would incite revolution and weaken Russia, removing a rival power from the Eastern Front of WWI.
4. Lenin pulled Russia out of WWI by signing the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918, ending Russia's military participation in the war.
5. A socialist/communist Soviet government (the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, precursor to the USSR) was established after the Russian Revolution.
