Problems+The+Russians+Faced

- Russia’s Generals were “incompetently” and “over confident” -Germany cracked the Russian Code book so they could intercept and decode their messages -Some of the generals even thought that cavalry could take the western front out of stalemate and win the war. -The Russian economy was dependant on farming at the time, causing a poor economy. -In the time, The Russian’s had insufficient munition factories and ship yards, causing time loss because they had to wait for their supplies. -Supplies were bogged down on Russia’s poorly made roads. -Railway was inadequate for transferring troops to the western front and back. -The telegraph system was out dated and their communication level was not leveled with the ones of Germany and England. This would mean that it would take longer for important messages to get received and sent. -The Tsar (Russian King) was a bad commander, this leads to bad attacks and failure. ‘ -Peasants had lost faith in the Tsar, this leads to low morale, because, if everyone had lost faith in the Tsar, then no one would want to fight for him because they might think that he is not trust-able and that they would defiantly die. If the women back in Russia loses faith in him, then the women would possibly stop working for him and they might be tight on supplies. -The Tsar was blamed for ALL the defeats for not being more cautious of what could happen.
