The March Revolution happened in 1917. It was a series of political upheavals. These political upheavals led to the establishment of the Soviet Union. Workers protested food shortages in Petrograd and within days most local factories and shops closed to join the protests. Police and soldiers joined the protests, attempts to restore civil order were crushed.

After seeing that he could not stop the food riots, the Tsar, Nicholas II, abdicated for himself and for his son; therefore ending 300 years of Romanov rule.

How was bolshevik revolution different than the march revolution?

There was no March Revolution, per se, in Russia. There was the February Revolution and there was the October Revolution. The difference lies in the fact that February on the Julian calendar is the same a March on the Gregorian calendar. Most historians refer to it as the February Revolution, just as they refer only to he October Revolution. Primarily, the February Revolution ended with Nickolas II abdicating the throne and Imperial parliament ( the Duma) taking control of the government by establishing the Russian Provisional Government. The October Revolution ended with the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, and the workers' Soviets, overthrowing the Provisional Government. Lenin was named Chairman of the Peoples Commisars of the RFSFR on November 8, 1917.
