Bolsheviks were Able to Seize Power in 1917 There are many reasons for which the Bolsheviks were able to take control 1917, amongst them being precise organisation and planning, exceptional timing and a fair amount of good luck. In this essay I wish to discuss these issues in more depth and explain why the Bolshevik revolution was able to take place. In September 1917 the Bolshevik party became the largest in the Petrograd Soviet and they controlled the Military Committee, which was under chairman
Trotsky would almost certainly be the next leader of the Bolshevik Party however this prophecy wasn’t fulfilled for a number of reasons; Trotsky’s personality, his nativity to the workings of the political world, and the accumulation of past mistakes which could be used against him– all of which were under his control. However other external influences also played a role in Trotsky’s fall from prominence within the Bolshevik Party after Lenin’s death to 1928, the most significant of these being Stalin’s

much of today’s technology, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles attribute their creation to the military. The idea of using unmanned aircraft has long been a dream for the military -- scouting planes without any casualties to report should something go wrong, air strikes with only time and money to lose, and the ability to wage war without losing a single life. Well the third one may perhaps not be realistic – as Afghanistan has shown, lack of ground troops leaves certain entities unchecked.1 However, it may

The Age of Information has made an approaching infinite amount of data accessible to all but the most disenfranchised. Today, technologists pursue the means and ways to transform these oceans of information into actionable information, knowledge, and situational understanding. US Military commanders, too, are addicted to and reliant on the powerful real-time situational awareness that has been made available to all Soldiers on the battlefield. Capability Set 13 provides the Rifleman Radio and
Operation Anaconda was a success, but it was not without errors, and could have ended a number of ways. Numerous Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen were killed or gravely wounded due to several major miscalculations that could have been easily avoided. Some Commanders will eventually either ignore or undervalue critical intelligence during warfare and, unfortunately, that will not stop anytime soon. Also, the over-compartmentalization of intelligence can create problems for a mission. This paper details
Chinook was eventually forced to land putting a gap of 4 miles and several thousand feet between Roberts and the rest of his team. With knowing little more than conflicting orders and mixed situation reports, the QRF, a small force of Rangers and Air Force PJs, were headed into an extremely hostile LZ and would spend the day fighting for their lives.
