· As the war continued, people began to lose faith in the government. The people didn't trust the Tsarina as she was German and her close relationship with Rasputin caused a scandal. The Tsar wished to fight the bitter end of the war, but he soon failed as he lost his vital support, and his government was overthrown.

· The existing Provisional Government was weak and unpopular among the workers, peasants and soldiers, but it was more unpopular with the Bolshevik Party who wanted power, so they stepped in and took it practically without firing a shot

· On Nov. 7, 1917, Russia’s Bolshevik Revolution took place as forces led by Vladimir Lenin overthrew the provisional government of Alexander Kerensky.

· The Provisional Government was now replaced by an administration headed by Vladimir Lenin.
