Ah yes
Voting bad
alt-history is gay shit
russia didnt even do that bad in wwi considering
Nah
they utterly raped the austrian military
Millions of illiterate peasants acting as walking meatshields
Very nice
it clearly worked for the most part
didnt work against germany but germany through everything they had at them
look at us being literate and all - truly intellectual conversations we're having here...
Except for the part when their entire government was overthrown by the same illiterate peasants
illiterate doesnt mean a bad soldier
That's not what I'm saying
High iq illetarcy
gov was overthrown by the ppl of St. Petersbourg and cossacks...
Hdbskl
The fact that 70% of Russia's population was illiterate should definitely say something about the state they were in during WW1
And people wonder why the Revolution happened...
it happened for many resons
>tfw other European powers rejected Russia's plan to have a European christian alliance after the napoleonic war
mostly the war
but also ethnic tensions
russia pre wwi was largely agrarian
and others
"We wuz Christians n shiet"
What were the literacy levels in Western Europe of that time btw
not amazing probs
Curio
better than russia tho
Over 70%

literacy is a meme
tbh
>ywn get to be a cossack charging a machine gun nest for your Tsar
it was pushed on the masses for ideological reasons
Ye I guess I can't argue with that
it's not a good metric of anything
