The rebellion that took place in Russia in 1917 was the October Revolution, also known as the Bolshevik Revolution. This major uprising led to the overthrow of the provisional government and the establishment of a communist regime under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin and the Bolshevik Party. The revolution followed years of social and political discontent, exacerbated by World War I hardships. The Bolsheviks promised "peace, land, and bread," appealing to the war-weary populace. The success of the October Revolution eventually led to the Russian Civil War, fundamentally transforming Russia's political landscape and influencing global communism for decades to come.
