About that…
The biq question of the day.

TLDR:
Without the US’s loans of additional money to keep Russia in the War following the abdication of the Czar, the Provisonal government would not have continued the war, thus giving the Bolsheviks a path to power after their failures to obtain it.
Sadly,only partially true.
Lenin could win only becouse kierenski was idiot and let bolszewik agitators come openly to units.If he arrested them from the start,it would be no problem.
Also,keeping Russia in war do not mean offensives there - and idiot kierenski tried that,giving Lenin popularity.
All russians need was to keep front without attacking,which could be done.
If they let part of soldiers go home,and executed Lenin and his supporters,there would be no revolution.
So,USA do not lead to revolution,but Kierenski stupidity - yes.
P.S If tsar send Brusiłow in 1916 against Turkey,he would break them and open Dardaneles for Allied help.There would be no revolution,too.
Even then,if there was still tsar guard in Petersburg,there would be no problems - but after Brusiłow offensive ended in failure ,they were send on german fortified lines and died in 3 days.What was named later as guard was green soldiers with few traumatized survivors.
Even then,calvary guard could save the day - but was send from capitol.
Even then,there would be no revolution,if bread was send to workers,which could be done - but,tsar officials stopped it to provoke uprising which they planned to break with guard - but,since they were green soldiers,not veterans,they joined people.
Not mention,that if Samsonow was supported by other tsar general,he would defeat germans in 1914 and take East Prussia.
So,do not blame on USA russian stupidity - or sabotage.Many russian officials were,in fact,germans,and supported secretly Germany.
