let me answer the first question: No, Germany was not resonisble for WWI, because they were not the ones that killed the Archduke Ferdidnand, and begin the summer war that turned into the deadlist war of its time. The blame primarily falls on Serbia, whos Black hand group killed Archduke Ferdidnand and his wife during their visit to Bosnia. The Archduke was Austrian Royalty, and Austria as upset as it was turned to Germany for support of any action it might decide was necessary, when Germany Agreed that is when Austria might have stuck up its middle finger to the Slav states who by this time rallied behind Russia who signed a Mutual Protection Pact treaty with German Rival France who was still upset about the Franco-Prussian war. This led to Germany signing treaties with the Ottoman Empire(modern day Turkey). France then got support from Great Britian. So in reality, WWI was caused by an assassin named Govril Princip, It was escalated by Austria-Hungary, Russia, and France. The only reason Germany was resonsible was because it was kicking ***, basiclly fighting the triple entity by itself. Now the Bolsheviks took advantage when Russia was losing the war, badly, and had a very unpopular Czarina(she was German, and under the influence of possibly the most evil man until Hitler, Rasputin) leading the State while the Czar was leading the War effort. The Bolsheviks manged to turn the war into a plus by what Lenin promised to the pesants of Land(major land reforms, following the removal of the Czar), Bread(major food shortages during the war, managed to turn it around abit), Peace(signed peace treaty with Germany)

No, the outbreak was caused by tensions within the Austro- Hungarian Empire and its relations with Serbia.
The growing strength of Germany was a contributing factor and they already had a plan if war broke out , the Schliefen Plan, so they were best placed to take advantage of the situation when it arose.
The Bolsheviks realised that Russia was ready for revolution because of the disastrous conduct of the war by the Imperial rulers and the suffering of the ordinary people.

Britain became Prussia's terrific buddy. The British threw Denmark and Hanover below the bus for Prussia so a reliable Germany must be created. Germany had the extensive military, and Britain had the extensive army. yet Germany desperate to easily have a extensive army. This became no longer an prolonged selection army to show the German flag, even if it became short selection conflict ships, to threaten British dominance at domicile. The British had a small military, one 10th the size of Germany. They have been an island us of a, extra fascinated with international commerce than ecu potential struggles. many of the British fleet became deployed over seas. yet while the German Fleet became extra desirable than the U. S. fleet, the British had to flow right into a palms race, conflict deliver for conflict deliver. This annoyed the British, there became in basic terms one reason of Germany to construct any such great short selection fleet, invasion. So Britain moved closer to France, who they formally despised. And Britain made a definite emphasis that they had assured Belgium independence by way of fact 1840. The British have been the least culpable of the belligerents. The British promised that if Germany stayed out of Belgium, they could stay out of the conflict. the actual conflict monger became Russia.

The Bolsheviks seized power in Russia during the October Revolution phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and founded the Soviet Union.were an organization of professional revolutionaries under a strict internal hierarchy governed by the principle of democratic centralism and quasi-military discipline, who considered themselves as a vanguard of the revolutionary proletariat.
~Basically they were all powerful and thought they could get away with whatever they wanted

No, I don't believe so. World War I was really incited when the Austrian prince was killed by a Bosnian student, along with some other causes that you can read about here: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I#Causes).
=) Hope that helps.

It's about time you learned how to do research. Go to the library, take out the encyclopedia, and start reading. We're not here to do your homework for you. Take it from me: teachers always know when it's not your own work...
