Question

Describe the factors that led to the february revolution 1917

Answer 1

Starting with the so-called February Revolution in 1917 and ending with the October Revolution later that year, the Russian Revolution resulted in the downfall of the Russian Empire and the creation of the Soviet Union (in 1922). It was a result of a long period of economic hardships, socio-political unrest and regime's repression dating back to the late 19th and early 20th century. None of the events discussed below caused the Russian Revolution but each of them brought the country one step closer to the boiling point.
