Me and my friend were discussing Tsarist Russia and I felt that without the strains of military defeat and collapse of the home front in WWI that Russia would have been able to survive, that its problems could be dealt with.
He seems to think that the Tsarist regime was doomed to failure and would have collapsed without a catostropic event like WWI
So could Tsarist Russia have survived without WWI happening?
