Hi i was wondering if anyone could give me a couple of points on this question:

Assess the role of the first world war, in the fall of Tsarist rule in Russia.

Thanx

I found a website that looks like it contains a lot of great information for you to research on your own. Good luck!.

Solders were deserting, people were becoming very bitter - it was said that discontent was at the point of undermining tsarist rule.

WWI

Half way down on the above page - paragraph which gives you a little info to go on - does not go into a great detail of information, but could give you a "position" to start.

This one should give you more detail to progress...The Path to Revolution
From the above site:
"The First World War, however, took place right on Russia's western doorstep. Unprepared militarily or industrially, the country suffered demoralizing defeats, suffered severe food shortages, and soon suffered an economic collapse"

Hope this info sets you off onto the path you were hoping for...
