Lenin and Trotsky

Also promised to end Russia’s involvement in WWI.
Withdrawal from WWI
Russia was weak, not enough weapons and no food
Signed Treaty of Brest-LitovskAgreement was costly for Russia as it
gave Germany a large of amount of Land in the Russian territory.
Lenin-believed he need to make Peace at any price so he could deal with his enemies at home!
Russia Civil War 1918-1921
Lenin’s Red army vs. the Whites (forces loyal to the Czar)
To eliminate a potential rallying symbol for the Whites, Communists (Red) executed Czar Nicholas II and his entire family.
Great Brittan, France and the United States sent troops to help the Whites. This rallied the Russian people and pushed them closer to Nationalism!
New Economic Policy
1917-From the take over of the Bolsheviks, they controlled everything, banks, mines, factories and railroads.
Economic disaster!
1921-NEP or New Economic Policy created by Lenin gave government (Communist) control to banks, large industries, and foreign trade.
Lenin to Stalin
During the time of Lenin he brought change.
But like many of us know through songs.. YOLO
