Russian Revolution - Social Studies Project

Page 1: Introduction to the Russian Revolution

The Russian Revolution of 1917 was one of the most significant events in modern history, leading to

the end of Tsarist autocracy and the rise of the Soviet Union. Before the revolution, Tsar Nicholas II

ruled Russia with an iron fist, but the country was suffering from poverty, inequality, and political

unrest. The people were unhappy with the Tsar's rule, and World War I further worsened the

situation. The revolution marked a drastic shift in Russia's government and social structure.

Page 2: Causes of the Revolution

The Russian people were facing severe economic problems, including food shortages, inflation, and

high taxes. The working class was exploited in factories, while peasants were trapped in poverty. In

1917, the February Revolution began with strikes and protests in Petrograd, as workers and soldiers

demanded change. Tsar Nicholas II failed to respond, and his government collapsed, paving the

way for the Bolsheviks to rise to power.

class and soldiers. In October 1917, the Bolsheviks led a successful coup that overthrew the

Provisional Government, marking the beginning of the Soviet Union.

On October 25, 1917, the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, took control of the Winter Palace in Petrograd.

This marked the end of the Provisional Government and the beginning of Bolshevik rule. The

revolution led to the withdrawal of Russia from World War I and the start of a new era under the

leadership of the Soviets (workers' councils). By 1922, the Bolsheviks established the Union of

Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), marking the beginning of Communist rule in Russia.
