write a note on October revolution
Answers
Answer:
The Great October Socialist Revolution, known more commonly as the October Revolution or the Bolshevik Revolution, occurred in 1917 in Russia, and the revolt resulted in a leftist government coming to power. The uprising started in the then-capital city of St. Petrograd, now St. Petersburg, and spread nationwide. Headed by Vladimir Lenin of the Bolshevik party, the October Revolution was the first communist rebellion of the 20th century and was founded on the beliefs of Karl Marx. The events of this Revolution helped to lay the ground level work for Stalin, his supporters and the Cold War.
In 1917, Russia endured two revolutions. In February, the tsarist government under the rule of Tsar Nicholas II was defeated and replaced with a liberal provisional government during the February Revolution. This government consisted of bankers, lawyers, and industrialists who were disheartened with Nicholas II for forcing millions of peasants to fight in World War I.
The new regime was not very strong, however, and was unable to keep Russia out of the war. The provisional government was opposed immediately by peasants and workers who wanted to make their own choices and wanted land distributed fairly. Vladimir Lenin joined the Bolshevik party, which vied with the provisional government for power.
