Hello
everybody! It’s Amalia.
I’m going
to tell you what I have done today in social sciences lesson.
At first
some students have asked to Paqui if we could watch a video that they have made
in French lesson and she accepted.
Then we
have corrected some activities sent for today, they where about tsarist Russia
and the 1905 revolution:
The main
features of Tsarist Russia were the
following:
-At the
beginning it was an autocracy
-Tsar
Nicholas II concentrated a lot of power
-Political
parties were forbidden and peasants were most of the population
-only in
some cities were some industries and workers
-Some
parties appeared: constitutional democrat party (liberal ideology)Russian
social democratic party (Marxist party divided into Mensheviks and
Bolsheviks)socialist revolutionary party(defended the rights of
peasants)
The first
revolution was in 1905 after Russia’s defeat in the Russian-Japanese war and
there were strikes and protests
There was a
demonstration of workers asking for better conditions which was brutally
repressed by the army. The revolt extended to other parts of the country and soviets
appeared (council of workers, peasants and soldiers that appeared to organize
the revolts they wanted the end of the war and autocracy)
The Tsar
promised to make some reforms but he didn’t keep the promises
WW1 was one
of the causes of a new revolution in 1917: the constant defeats of the Russian
army .This mean a mobilization of peasants because they wanted low prices, more
lands and also more food.
We have to
make the scheme about 1917 revolution at home and we have to include the
causes, the stages that were: February, April, July and August, and October .And also the consequences of
that revolution
Then we
have copied a small scheme about the RSDLP and its division into Mensheviks (moderate
Marxists, social democrats, they wanted to participate in the elections and
institutions. They were the majority until October 1917) and into Bolsheviks(radical
Marxists , revolutionary, they wanted to take the state and to impose the
dictatorship of the proletariat. They were minority until October 1917)
At the end of the lesson Paqui has told us that
if we wanted to see an exposition about mauthausen,she will be there .I have seen the exposition and I like it.
