Bolshevik Revolution

The Bolshevik Revolution, occurring in October 1917, was a pivotal event in Russia where the Bolshevik Party, led by Vladimir Lenin, overthrew the provisional government that replaced the Tsar after the February Revolution earlier that year. Discontent with ongoing hardships from World War I, economic instability, and social inequality fueled support for the Bolsheviks, who promised "peace, land, and bread." The revolution resulted in the establishment of a communist government, leading to a civil war and the eventual creation of the Soviet Union. It significantly influenced global politics and the spread of communism throughout the 20th century.
