In fact I just had the scary realisation that the time between now and our last flag is the same as when we won our last flag to when we got done by Collingwood in 1990. It just doesn't seem right.

Done my History speech. The plan is that I'll stretch this out so it goes for 5 minutes.

‘Despite his socialist idealism, Leon Trotsky was, in fact a practical revolutionary’.

In light of this statement, assess the role played by Leon Trotsky in the Bolshevik seizure and consolidation of power.


The size of Leon Trotsky’s role in the 1917 Bolshevik seizure of the power and the subsequent consolidation of Bolshevik power is undeniably large. With Lenin absent from Russia in the lead up to the revolution the responsibility of organizing the revolution fell to Trotsky. After the revolution Trotsky was in charge of dealing with two biggest threats to the Revolution, the on-going war with Germany and the threat of Civil War in Russia. Trotsky as Commissar for Foreign Affairs was head negotiator for Russia when seeking peace with Germany. While the terms of the peace were not the desired result, he nevertheless achieved the peace which allowed the Bolsheviks to focus on the counter-revolutionary threat at home which eventually erupted with the start of the Civil War in 1918. Once again Levin put Trotsky in charge of dealing with this threat to Bolshevik Power, appointing him as Commissar for War. Trotsky’s leadership and strategies led the Red Army to victory and secured Bolshevik power in Russia.


Thoughts? Might be a bit long. (And that's what she said)
