The Russian Revolution Explained in 3 Questions

The Russian Revolution of 1917 consisted of two key events: the February Revolution, which overthrew the imperial government, and the October Revolution, which brought the Bolsheviks to power. The revolution was fueled by widespread dissatisfaction with the corrupt government, food shortages, and the impact of World War I. The Romanov Dynasty ended with Czar Nicholas II's abdication and the execution of his family. A provisional government briefly took over but was soon replaced by the Bolsheviks, who promised peace, land, and bread. The Bolshevik government ruled Russia until 1991.
