The revolutionary movement led by the Bolsheviks in Russia was the October Revolution, which took place in 1917. Under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin, the Bolsheviks aimed to overthrow the provisional government that had replaced the Tsar following the earlier February Revolution. Advocating for "peace, land, and bread," the Bolsheviks garnered popular support among workers, soldiers, and peasants dissatisfied with the ongoing turmoil and the effects of World War I. Their successful coup led to the establishment of a communist government, which ultimately shaped the course of Russian history and significantly influenced global politics throughout the 20th century.
