The Causes of the Russian Revolution in March 1917 There were many causes to explain the outbreak of the Russian Revolution in March 1917. Some of these can be defined as long term causes as their origin goes way back to pre-revolutionary times. Others are short-term reasons or even immediate effects, which act as the last spark, to bring the tense situation out of control. In this essay I will be looking at some of these long and short-term causes in more detail. The long term causes
The Reasons Behind the Success of The March Revolution There are numerous reasons as to why the March Revolution was successful, it is different from previous revolutions as the Tsar has lost the support of the people and of the armed forces. One reason for the March Revolution being so successful was the weakness of Russia, its sheer size made it hard to control and monitor events taking place over the country.

In Alex Horton’s essay, “Ides of March,” which he posted on his personal blog, “Army of Dude”, on March 20, 2011, he tells us a little about his platoon, Battle Company, Second Platoon. In this reflective essay he tells us how they have disbanded – and he tells us about the platoon’s losing one of its own, Brian Chevalier, who was a “driver for first squad.” Chevy was blown “out of the Stryker” he was driving, apparently being killed instantly. He talked about how it happened so suddenly, like an

The Bataan Death March started on April 11, 1942. It was a result of over 70,000 American and Filipino soldiers surrendering to the Japanese on April 9. The Japanese were surprised by this number, having only expected about 30,000. According to soldier Lester I. Tenney, who experienced the Death March first hand, it was brutal for the prisoners of war. “Japanese soldiers hollered and would prod us with their bayonets to walk faster(on a short walk to the starting point). Once at the main road, we
Marriage Relationships in Julius Caesar The relationship between Brutus and Portia is of a loving one. Portia speaks to Brutus gently calling him, 'my dear lord' and `gentle' this actually shows that Portia respects and honors Brutus. Brutus also replies her gently and expresses his love for her in the lines `render me worthy of this noble wife' and `as dear to me as are the ruddy drops/that visits my sad heart'. In these lines, Brutus says that Portia is as dear to him as the blood in
Citizen Kane Citizen Kane is often called the greatest film ever made. Its use of film techniques often taken for granted nowadays were completely new and had not been done before. Simple things like ceilings on the sets and realistic scenes such as the newsreel, which would not stand out in a modern film, were combined to make a film full of innovative techniques. The director, Orson Welles, developed the use of deep focus to make the flat cinema screen almost become three dimensional,
The Tragedy Julius Caesar is a play written by Shakespeare in 1599 that contains betrayal, deception, and exaggeration. The story revolves around the days before and after Caesar’s death. As you keep reading you see the various sides of the characters, who is truly murdering Caesar for Rome, and who is doing it for themselves. Brutus is doing it for Rome and its citizens because he feels Caesar isn’t fit for being king. While reading, it was thought to keep in mind: does the end justify the means
Two powerful leaders, one power hungry whose ambitious ideas lead to his downfall, the other mindful of people who deserve their higher positions. A true leader is someone who has a vision, a drive and commitment to achieve what's best. In the play written by William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, Brutus and Caesar are one of the main characters. They demonstrate leadership qualities that are still relevant to today. They are both very ambitious characters; however, they do so for different reasons
conspirators on the ides of March. When the soothsayer cries out “Beware the ides of march”(312; act1,sc2) he is truly laying the groundwork for the rest of the events leading up to Caesar’s assassination. Although Julius dismisses the soothsay with a simple “he is a dreamer, let us leave him. Pass.” (313; act1, sc2) the reader realizes that this date will prove important in the near future. To the audience, the prophecies are dramatic irony-when Caesar is warned about the ides of March, we already know
differently around the commoners. In addition to that, “Delay not, Caesar; read it instantly/ What is the fellow mad” (III.i.9-10). This quote demonstrates Caesar’s arrogance because he does not listen to Artemidorus’ warning that during the Ides of March, the conspirators (Metellus, Brutus, Cassius, Cinna, Decius, and Casca) will kill him. The reason he does not listen to his warnings because “Danger knows full well/ That Caesar is
In Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, young Alice finds herself in a world that she does not really understand.

In Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Alice comes to realize the unpredictable nature of life and she must learn to adapt to illogical circumstances that are uncomfortable and unfamiliar such as when Alice contemplates the Mad Hatter’s riddle, when Alice plays a part in the Queen of Hearts’ shenanigans, and when Alice takes place in the Knave of Hearts’ trial. Alice’s conversation with the Mad Hatter is her first experience in new territory of ridiculous situations as she tries to understand the
Caesar is unwilling to believe several warnings that could have saved his life. Julius Caesar was warned many times by many different people and yet he took none of them to heart. The soothsayer calls out from the crowd to Caesar “Beware the ides of March” (890). Caesar then dismisses the soothsayer by saying “He is a dreamer, let us leave him. Pass (890). Another instance of Caesars unwillingness to listen is when his wife is awoken from a horrible nightmare of her husband’s demise. Calphurnia says
play, the Soothsayer warns Caesar that he should “Beware the ides of March” (I.ii.18) The Ides of March is the 15th day in the month, the exact day Caesar is killed. The Soothsayer was an important character because he tries to warn Caesar one last time on the 15th, but he is also ignored. The first time he states this, Caesar responds with “He is a dreamer; let us leave him. Pass” (I.ii.24) The next time he says “The ides of March are come” (III.i.1). The first time ignored what the Soothsayer said
