I remember reading the Czar and his cousin repeatedly sending telagrams trying to avoid war at all cost until the "treaties" came into the situation. The whole point of the Russian Revolution being based on the participation in WWI has been discussed in all college history that I've participated in. The dismal fighting spirit of the Russian Army didn't help the fact at home when the Czar's wife was half-German and in control while Nicolas was away. So, the unrest going on at home kept going because the soldiers who were tasked to hold order refused.
