What happened at the Russian Revolution (October Revolution)
The October Revolution occurred in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) when the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin and organized militarily by Leon Trotsky, stormed the Winter Palace and toppled the Provisional Government that had ruled since the earlier February Revolution of 1917. Capitalizing on widespread war-weariness, food shortages, and political instability following the fall of the tsarist monarchy, the Bolsheviks promised peace, land redistribution, and workers' control. Their seizure of power established Soviet rule and led directly to Russia's withdrawal from World War I and a brutal civil war (1918 to 1922). The revolution reshaped global politics, inspiring communist movements worldwide and leading to the eventual founding of the Soviet Union in 1922.
