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 Russian Empire. It was triggered by a series of social, political, and economic problems that had been building up over many years. The revolution was characterized by mass protests, strikes, and military mutinies, which ultimately forced the Tsar to abdicate and paved the way for a provisional government.
