The Russian Revolution is the name given to a set of revolutions that happened in Russia during 1917. Prior to these revolutions Russia had been ruled by a royal family who had absolute power over the country of Russia and the church. The catalyst of the first revolution in February of 1917 was the heavy military set back that had occurred during the First World War. Much of the army thought that their leadership was inadequate and was in a state of munity. The leadership fop the army felt that they did not have the power to suppress the revolt by the people and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the last Tsar of Russia, abdicated. In the chaos that happened after this abdication a provisional government was set up from the members of the imperial parliament. They were allowed to remain in control as long as they granted certain rights, such as some government and military control, to the Soviet factions present in the country. This resulted in a period of dual power where the provisional government held state power, but the national network of Soviets, led by socialists, had the allegiance of the lower-class citizens and the political left.
