When Nicholas II reigned as tsar of Russia many had already disliked his powerful ruling. A small group of aristocrats held much of the power and wealth and the majority(peasants) had little power. However, in 1905 an event known to many as Bloody Sunday occurred and shifted the people’s view of the government. In 1914, when WWI began a huge Russian army was formed by forcing working class and peasant men to join. Although the Russian army had great numbers, the soldiers were not equipped or…

For example, reading books such as Chicken Every Sunday shifted soldiers minds from their insipid sustenance to thinking about good home cooking and provided a light at the end of their tunnel, supplying visions of going back home and eating meals they were used to eating with their families.
