What if The Russian Revolution Failed? Why it's The Most Significant Event in Modern History

from History Undone

Darryl Morris is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Anna Reid to discuss arguably one of the most consequential what ifs of the 20th Century and beyond: the October Revolution in 1917 and subsequent Russian Civil War. It not only ended centuries of tsarist rule and pulled Russia out of the First World War, but led to the creation of the Soviet Union and its most famous figures. Without the Bolshevik victory, would we still have World War 2, the Cold War, the space race or the rise of Putin? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast.
