How effective was the Provisional Government?
1. Here is a list of some decisions that faced the Provisional Government when it took over in March 1917:
-- What to do about the war: Provisional Government promised Russia's allies that it would continue the war, while trying to settle the situation in Russia. The war effort was failing and the soldiers were deserting from the army.
-- What to do about land: Urged peasants to be restrained and wait for elections before taking any land. The peasants ignored the orders of the government to wait and were simply taking over the countryside.
-- What to do about food: they didn't deal with it
For each one, say how the government dealt with it, and what the result of the action was.
2. Look for evidence in the reading of how the actions of its opponents harmed the Provisional Government:
-- Members of the soviets: The Soviets held the real power and they had a Bolshevik majority and a Bolshevik chairman. They also ahd the support of most of the army and all of the industrial workers.
-- Bolsheviks: Bolshevik-led protests against the war turned into rebellions and when people found out that Lenin got help from Germany, they didn't really want to support him, so when Lenin fled Kerensky took over and they took over the government.
-- General Kornilov: Kornilov wanted to get rid of the Bolsheviks as well as the Provisional Government.
3. Based on your answers to questions 1 & 2, how effective do you think the Provisional Government was? Your answer should be at least two paragraphs. Make sure you provide key details and analysis.
The Provisional Government wasn't very effective at all because it seems as though no one likes them at all. They had no support, therefore it wasn't hard for a group of people to crush them and take over their government.

Both led the Bolsheviks to success, Lenin led them to power while Trotsky led them to victory in the Civil War.
