Introduction to the October Revolution

The October Revolution of 1917 was a pivotal event in Russian history that led to the overthrow of the Provisional Government and the establishment of Bolshevik control. The revolution was driven by a combination of political, economic, and social factors, as well as the leadership of Vladimir Lenin. It had significant consequences, including the creation of the Soviet Union and the spread of communist ideology worldwide.
