Why did the Tsarist autocracy collapse in 1917?
The tsar first dimissed the primary two Dumas and then packed the parliament with the conservatives. During the first world war, the tsar took decision without the consultation of duma. Large scale causualties of Russian soldiers in the war further set apart the people from the tsar. Burning of crops and building by the retreating Russian armies created the huge shortage of food in Russia. All of these arose to the collapse of the tsarist autocracy in 1997.
