There were many causes for the October Revolution, but the Bolshevik slogan "Bread, Land and Peace" sums up the three most important causes.
Bread; because the people in the cities were starving. The army was mostly made up of peasants in uniform, so harvests were not brought in, fields not ploughed and crops not sown.
Land; Russia was largely a semi-feudal country, and the peasants did not own the land they had worked on for generations, it was still owned by the landlords - the aristocracy. The peasants wanted to own their land.
Peace; the war had not gone well for Russia, despite some sporadic success, the Russians were being defeated. They were also tired of the economic hardships caused by the war.
