Russian Revolution – Part I (The March Revolution)
March 1917: strikes expand in Petrograd; riots over bread and fuel shortages.
Soldiers ordered to fire on people but turned guns on commanding officers (mutiny).
FYI: At start of WWI, St. Petersburg sounded too German and was renamed Petrograd. After Lenin’s death in 1924, renamed Leningrad.

Czar Nicholas II forced to abdicate his throne in March 1917. The end of 300 years of Romanov rule.
