The '''February Revolution''' (sometimes called the March Revolution, due to discrepancies between the Russian and Western calendars) was a large protest against [[Czar Nicholas II]] of [[Russia]] in March 1917. It forced the [[Czar]] to abdicate the throne and did not allow his heir, Alexis, to inherit it. A provisional government was established with [[Alexander Kerensky]] as the leader. The ineffective new government was later overthrown in the [[October Revolution]], which installed the [[Bolshevik]] Party under [[V.I. Lenin]]. | The '''February Revolution''' (sometimes called the March Revolution, due to discrepancies between the Russian and Western calendars) was a large protest against [[Czar Nicholas II]] of [[Russia]] in March 1917.
