Introduction to the February Revolution

The February Revolution of 1917 was a pivotal event that led to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II and the end of the Romanov dynasty. It was driven by a combination of political, economic, and social factors, including widespread unrest, poor wartime conditions, and dissatisfaction with Tsarist rule. The revolution marked the beginning of a new era in Russia's history, paving the way for the Bolsheviks' rise to power.
