== History ==
=== The February Revolution (1915) ===
After the Tsar fares terribly in World War 1, many began to question if Nicholas could really handle the war, and thus many took to the streets and protested in a response to terrible working conditions. Soon, many middle class Russians, including a certain Alexander Kerensky, convinced the Russian Tsar to abdicate, ending the February Revolution. The Tsar was placed under house arrest in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg
=== An Early End to A War (1914-1916) ===
After the Russian Revolution comes to an end, the Russians realize that they need to turn this war around, and desperately. So they start the Brusilov Offensive, one of the bloodiest counterattacks in the entire war. At first the Russians didn't do really that well, but then they started to make gains. And then it was all out conquest. Town after Town, city after city, territory after territory, the Russians conquered and reconquered, until they had their sights on Königsberg. The Siege of Königsberg had begun. After much conflict, sabotage, and starvation in the city of Königsberg, the people there realized all hope was lost, and surrendered the City. Soon, after the surrenderer reached Berlin, thousands of Prussians and Silesians took to the streats, demanding the war be over. Soon these Protests became Riots, and the Riots became Rebellions. Kaiser Wilhelm II realized all hope was lost. He surrendered on January 5th, 1916, ending the war.
=== Post-War (1916-1920) ===
The years after the war were trying to find out how harsh Germany's Punishment should be, basically. Eventually, it was settled that Germany would be split into 3 (The Kingdom of Prussia (Being the successor state to the German Reich), the Weimar Republic, and the West German Republic). The Kingdom of Prussia had to pay massive War reparations and East Prussia was occupied by the Russians for 15 Years. Post-War Russia saw the Russian Republic gain prestige and popularity, as they had defeated and ended 3 Empires. The Russian Government then took to Rebuild the nation, especially Congress Poland (WITRW), in which the Germans had recaptured previously. The Russians gave the Poles Greater rights to become a semi-independent state. Russia also changed their flag, which was neat.
