1917

The year 1917 was pivotal during World War I, marked by significant events that shaped history. In Russia, the February Revolution led to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, ending centuries of monarchy and establishing a provisional government. Later that year, the Bolshevik Revolution, led by Vladimir Lenin, resulted in a communist government. Meanwhile, the United States entered the war, bolstering the Allied powers against the Central powers. These developments not only changed the course of the war but also set the stage for future geopolitical shifts and the rise of communist regimes in the 20th century.
