History

The February Revolution in Petrograd

In this Class 9 History topic, students examine how the February Revolution of 1917 began in Petrograd amid food shortages, war-weariness, strikes, and growing opposition to Tsar Nicholas II. They learn how workers’ protests and soldiers’ mutiny weakened the autocracy, led to the Tsar’s abdication, and created a Provisional Government alongside the Petrograd Soviet. The topic connects these events to the wider rise of socialism and the Russian Revolution.
