MARCH REVOLUTION
The people of Russia first revolted in early 1917. The revolution began when a number of workers decided to strike. Many of these workers got together during the strike to discuss politics. They began to riot. The Tsar ( Nicholas II) ordered the army to suppress the riot. However, many of the soldiers refused to fire on the people of Russia and the army began to mutiny against the Tsar
After a few days of riot by the people of Russia, the army turned against the Tsar. The Tsar was forced to give up his throne and a new government took over. The government was run by two political parties: The Petrograd Soviet which was representing the workers and soldiers and the Provisional Government which was the traditional government of Russia without the Tsar
