Answer:

Explanation:

The following were the major events that led to the February Revolution in Petrograd:

• On the 22nd of February, a lockout occurred at a factory in Petrograd on the right bank of the Neva River.
• Workers in fifty factories called a sympathy strike on February 23rd. Strikes were led by women in numerous factories. Demonstrating employees marched from the manufacturing quarters to the Nevskii Prospekt, the capital's main thoroughfare.
• The government imposed a curfew, which dispersed the marchers, but they returned on the 24th and 25th.
• The Tsar suspended the Duma on February 25th. This infuriated many people. After meeting with a resigned delegation of workers, the Tsar finally followed the military's advise and abdicated on March 2nd.
• A Provisional Government was constituted by Soviet and Duma leaders.
