The abdication of Nicholas left Russia without a sovereign. This left him without limited power; hence, the inability to dismantle the Duma since most of his army engaged in the war against Germany. Nicholas was left overwhelmed, since his generals and army no longer had confidence in him and, in his viewpoint, it was betrayal and deceit. Further, the abdication of Nicholas led to the United States being one of the foreign governments to recognize the provisional government. The United States had an opportunity to ally with the new government and obtain favorable trade contracts. The takeover by Kerensky poses a problematic situation on whether to continue engaging in war against Germany or cease and maintain peace talks (Miller, 2020). The war poses a severe threat to Russia since they lose numerous troops in an indirect fight against themselves.
Therefore, in my opinion, I would take Russia out of the war to build on its own. Kerensky has just taken over and needs to stabilize Russia and revive its socioeconomic progress. This is because it is evident that engaging in the war would leave Russia in a disaster that would take a long to recover from. Despite the promises of land, the fall of Nicholas provides an opportunity for self-remake into a more democratic society (Miller, 2020). More so, it would be the best chance to consider loss and revive the most affected individuals. It is essential to safeguard territorial boundaries rather than sharing. For instance, if Russia engaged in peace talks with Germany, they would suffer from the oppression of their government. Rather than remaining in the Triple Entente, Kerensky needs to consider the future independence of Russia. The abdication of Nicholas has had a direct impact on the country, and continued engagement in the war would result in severe consequences. Therefore, concerning these sentiments, Kerensky should assess the result, pull Russia out of combat and lead to government transformation.
