Russia Revolution

The Russian Revolution refers to a series of events in 1917 that led to the fall of the Tsarist autocracy and the rise of the Soviet Union. It began with widespread discontent over food shortages, military defeats in World War I, and oppressive rule. The February Revolution resulted in the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the establishment of a temporary government. In October, the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, overthrew this government, advocating for workers' and peasants' rights. The revolution marked the start of communist rule in Russia and significantly impacted global politics throughout the 20th century.
