World+War+I+Speeches

Do you believe in a world with freedom of speech as well as choice of action, a world with more equality and a newly formed democratic structure? We, The Bolsheviks, most certainly do. Human nature should not be able to be controlled by one man, it is a natural thing and if you allow it and mould it to be, it most certainly can be good! This is why we remain strongly opposed to going to war against Austria-Hungary and Germany. Russia has been facing many economic problems lately and the funding as well as the man power just does not seem worth it when we could be investing in making our own country stronger and better. We would like to be discussing other issues like the distribution of wealth in our country or Nicholas the second being overthrown. The whole idea of the autocracy is not right for our country and we must fix this problem within our own before thinking about taking war on others.
 * __ Bolsheviks __**

Liberals We strongly believe that we Russia, should join the war. With the size of our army we will be able to add many soldiers to the Triple Entente. With our army and the armies of Britain and France our strength will be too forceful for the triple alliance to handle. The war will help strengthen our men and our homeland, Russia. If Russia were to join the war, not only our men and homeland will be strengthened but our economy will also be strengthened. With the building of new weapons and war materials, our industries will benefit tremendously, pumping in hundreds of thousands, or better yet millions of dollars into the economy of Russia. If we do not take part in the war, we as the Liberals fear that Germany will defeat Britain and France, this would be catastrophic. Germany would take control of all of Europe, possibly the world. Everything would be done their way, if not serious consequences would occur. Russia does not want this, Europe does not want this, the world does not want this. So we, the people of Russia, need to stop them, stand up for all equality.

= = = =  __**Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries**__ Are you Sick and tired of the oppression of the tsar?Are you ready for a revolution? If so then the Mensheviks are on your side. Our country is slowly falling apart and the tsar is the person to blame. We need to overthrow his Dictatorship and in the ashes of the old Russia form a new Socialist Russia. Going into war at a time of this much oppresion is a mistake that we can not afford to make. If the Tsar makes us go to war then we must use his own supplies against him to free us. We dont have to stand the Tsar making all of our decisions, we can revolt and make decisions for ourselves. Down with the Tsar!

__Autocracy __ Our party is pro war and believe that war could greatly benefit the country of Russia. We believe that Russia’s army is large enough to be successful in war, and will capture territory. Going to war and being victorious will gain more land and rescores for Russia’s large population, it will also better Russia’s economy and make us a better nation. We have many allies who would follow us into battle against opposing countries. With our large army and allies war would be a very good option to take over more land and more resources, bettering Russia and its entire population.
