Why did the russian social democratic workers party split



Dear Student
Please find below the solution to your query
1.  The Russian Social Democratic Workers Party was founded in 1898 by the Socialists group who respected ideas of Marx
2.  Due to government policies, it had to operate as an illegal organisation.
3.  This party struggled for rights of peasants and demanded that land belonging to nobles be transferred to peasants.
4.  Social Democrats disagreed with ideas of Socialist Revolutionaries about peasants.
5.  Lenin felt that peasants were not a single united group. Some were poor and others rich while some worked as labourers and some others were capitalists who employed workers.
6.  Due to this differentiation within them, it was believed that they could not all be part of a socialist movement.
7.  As a result, the party was divided or split over the strategy of organisation.
