    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eqMwWvxJVQ&amp;t=95">1:35</a> for anyone wondering about the symbol on the flag, it was originally seen as a symbol for peace/wisdom but the Nazis stole the symbol and put it on it&apos;s side which destroyed it&apos;s original meaning.

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eqMwWvxJVQ&amp;t=91">1:31</a> Weak successor (not really), but Ashoka&apos;s extreme pacifist ideology is clearly one of the reasons. Political Fragmentation (correct)

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eqMwWvxJVQ&amp;t=138">2:18</a> <br><br>Unfortunately for the monarchists, the Russian Empire vanished without a single shot being fired. The Tsar abdicated under pressure from his own generals, and the Provisional Government took his place. It was only after that government failed to resolve the accumulated problems—and created new ones—that the Bolsheviks appeared, with red stars on their caps.
