Why were the Russian people supporting the new ideas of Lenin?

History

Butoxors [25]3 years ago

There are two main reasons why the Russian people supported Lenin and his ideas in the 1910s:

1. Serfdom
2.Russian failures in the First World War up to that point

Throughout the centuries during which Russia had been a country prior to the Revolution of 1917, Russia prescribed to a system of governance known as Feudalism. This meant that the vast majority of the Russian population was impoverished, and were virtually enslaved by the immensely wealthy Aristocrats. This state of servitude of the Russian poor was known as Serfdom.
  This massive inequality between the poor members of Russian society and the aristocracy had been a source of growing discontent for the Russian lower class. Despite attempts to abolish the system by Enlightened Despots like Catherine the Great as well as it's technical legal abolishment by Czar Alexander II, the system still remained very much a reality of the average member of Russian society.
  The communists (and the social democrats before them) appealed to the Serfs, as their plan of wealth redistribution benefited the serfs greatly, and the serfs believed that it would lift them out of their impoverished state.

Up until 1917, Russia had faced defeat after crushing defeat against the forces of the Central Powers. The losses incurred by the Russian Army were astronomically high, and the Russian lower class was very upset at their government for forcing them into a war that they saw no reason to fight.
  Lenin promised to bring peace to Russia by negotiating for an armistice with the Central Powers, a prospect that appealed greatly to the war weary Russian lower class.

Du Tisné’s major contributions to France was
Igoryamba

Answer: the correct answer is B. establishing new trade alliances with American Indian groups in Oklahoma

Explanation:

Claude-Charles Du Tisné was a French explorer in central North America, Claude-Charles du Tisné was born in France circa 1688. He became a soldier and in 1705 was posted to Canada. In 1719 he was ordered to take a small company of men to explore the Illinois country and then to go southwestward across the Mississippi River into the plains, in order to try to open trade with Santa Fe, in Spanish-held New Mexico. Historians don't agree in their evaluations of the exact route of his expedition in the summer of 1719. They agree that his line of travel brought the group into the plains directly west from the Mississippi River to an Osage village on the Osage River. By reading the expedition's reports and documents, Oklahoma historian Anna Lewis asserted that he led his men southwestward to the Verdigris River in present Oklahoma, to the site of an American Indian village, presumably of the Wichita, in the vicinity of present Chelsea or Vinita. Other scholars, notably archaeologists Mildred Mott Wedel and Waldo Wedel, read the records differently, arguing that the encounter with the Wichita took place near Neodesha, Kansas. The archaeological record, however, remains too sparse to allow a precise location of the site of the village or the explorer's route. Du Tisné's activities, and those of his fellow French explorer Jean Baptiste Bénard de la Harpe, also in 1719, paved the way for future exploration in the plains and encouraged competition between Spain and France for trade in the area. Leaving the plains, Du Tisné returned to the Illinois country, where he died in 1730.
