Dear Student,
Answer to your question is as follows :
Impact of world war 1 in Russian industries
In 1914, war broke out between 2 European alliances - Germany, Austria and Turkey (the Central Powers) and France,
Britain and Russia ( later Italy and Romania).
In Russia the war was initially popular and people rallied around Tsar Nicholas II.
The war also had a severe impact on industries.
Russia's own industries were few in number and the country was cutoff from other suppliers of industrial goods by German control of the Baltic Sea.
Industrial equipment disintegrated more rapidly in Russia than elsewhere in Europe.
By 1916, railway lines also began to break down. Able-bodied men were called up to war.
As a result, there were labour shortages and small workshops producing essentials were shutdown.
