'''4.'''The [[Communist Revolution]] took place in late 1917 in Russia. [[Lenin]], [[Stalin]], and Trotsky were the three major revolutionaries, with Lenin being the earliest leader. The Revolution occurred because of the genuinely oppressive and careless rule of the [[czars]] (and the desire for power of the leaders), although the [[communist]] government established after the Revolution was at least as oppressive as the governments of the czars. In fact, because of the famines and post-Revolution civil war, Russia was worse off after the Revolution. | '''4.'''The [[Communist Revolution]] took place in late 1917 in Russia.
