How was the February revolution able to
bring down the monarchy in Russia?
Answers
Answer:The February revolution in Russia took place in the year 1917. The main causes of the revolution were the scarcity of the food in the quarter of workers, the combined strike of workers of fifty factories, the curfew of government etc. The government took various measures to suppress the revolt of the people. The workers on the next day gathered again and ransacked the police headquarter. The government tried to control the situation and hence used force again once again. Nevertheless, the army denied firing on the demonstrators. And on the next day, the gathered people went to advice the military commander of Tsar to abdicate. He followed the advice of delegation and abdicated on March 2. The revolution of people then brought down the monarchy in February 1917 by forming the provisional government.
On Sunday the 25 February, the government suspended the Duma. Demonstrations returned back on the streets of the left bank. People raised slogans about bread, wages, better hours and democracy. The government tried to control the situation by calling the army but the cavalry refused to fire at the demonstrators. Now soldiers also joined workers and had all gathered to form a Council called the 'Soviet'. This was the Petrograd Soviet. The very next day, a delegation went to see the Tsar and advised him to accept defeat. He decided to abdicate on 2 March and the Soviet leaders and the Duma leaders formed a Provisional Government. New Russia's future would be decided by the Constituent Assembly, elected on the basis of universal adult franchise. Petrograd had led the February Revolution that brought down the monarchy in February 1917
