In which year did the Russian Revolution take place?

1917

The Russian Revolution is commonly dated to 1917 in school-level world history. It was not one single event in a single day; the year included the February Revolution, which ended the rule of the tsar, and the October Revolution, in which the Bolsheviks led by Lenin seized power. These events transformed Russia and later contributed to the creation of the Soviet state.

The correct choice is C, 1917. The year 1905 is also important because Russia experienced an earlier revolution and political unrest then, but it did not produce the same final change of government. The year 1914 marks the beginning of the First World War, while 1929 is associated with the Great Depression. Therefore, when a school question asks generally for the year of the Russian Revolution, 1917 is the expected answer.
