The revolutionary movement had been gained strength for several years and was only intensified by the suffering of the Russian people during World War I. Famine, poverty and deprivation were a way of life for millions. The Tsar was forced to abdicate in March 1917. He was replaced by a government of liberals and moderate revolutionaries, the Mensheviks. This government survived only eight months before falling to the Bolsheviks. NOTE: Date is approximate.
