Hey guys, did you hear? The USSR was just established! This is history folks, happening right here in 1922! For some background information, I guess I'll start at around 5 years ago, in 1917. The Russian people had lost all their Czar, Nicolas II. The Russian people started to complain about lack of food and poverty. The main cause for the revolution was Russia's role in WWI. Russia was inferior to German forces and their casualties were skyrocketing. The war not only killed many Russians, but also destroyed their economy. Many started to call for the Czar to be overthrown.
