Imagine a time when people's voices were silenced, and their rights ignored. This was Russia before the Russian Revolution. In 1917, workers and peasants, tired of inequality and hardship, rose against the ruling Tsar Nicholas II. Their courage and determination led to the birth of a new nation: The Soviet Union.
Tsar Nicholas II was the last emperor of Russia, living a life of luxury while many Russians struggled to survive. The anger of the people, known as the 'proletariat,' reached its peak and they revolted, leading to the end of the 'feudal' rule, where the wealthy held all power.
The revolutionaries, led by figures like Vladimir Lenin, fought for a 'socialist' society where everyone shared wealth equally. After a long struggle, they succeeded. The Tsar was overthrown, paving the way for the formation of the Soviet Union.
This dramatic shift changed the world forever, influencing many aspects of global politics we see today. So, next time you read about geopolitical tensions or hear about socialism, remember the Russian Revolution - the event that sparked it all.
