Question
Answer
show Agriculture. Famines had hit Russia in 1891 and 1897. Mortgage repayments were high, so Stolypin cancelled them to 'de-revolutionise' the peasants.  
🗑
Key points of Stolypin's 'Wager on the Strong'   show
🗑
show Russia farmers were resistant to change. Land reform would take a long time, and peasants were resistant to leave the security of the commune.  
🗑
show Stolypin cooperated with the Octobrists to allow his ideas to pass  
🗑
show Revenue and the number of banks grew. The economy grew by 8.5% from 1908 to 1914, however inflation rose by 40% in this period. Workers' wages were 30% in St Petersburg than in Moscow. Eventually strikes grew to a general strike in 1914.

Election and effectiveness of the 1st Duma   show
🗑
Vyborg appeal   show
🗑
Stolypin's reaction to Vyborg   show
🗑
show The Kadets lost half of their seats, with the Mensheviks improving. This made the Duma radical and anti-government. The Duma rejected Nicholas' land reform, and criticised the army, so he dissolved it.  
🗑
show The tsar kept the Duma (to appeal to European powers) but gave landowners more voting power than peasants. An increase in Octobrists and Rightists muted the radicalism. Stolypin could pass his land reforms, as well as social welfare for children.  
🗑
The 4th Duma   show
🗑
Russia in 1911   show

🗑
show The growth of an ambitious, united Germany after 1871. The expansionist Austro-Hungarian Empire after 1867. The declining Ottoman Empire and its Balkan possessions.

🗑
Germany and the alliance system   show
🗑
Franco-Russian convention   show
🗑
