Russian Revolution

In 1917, the Russians revolted and overthrew the czar. When Russia became involved in World War One, it showed nothing but the weakness in czarist rule and leadership. Russian communists gained power and signed peace treaty with Germany. It was up until this time that Nicholas II was the czar of Russia. The Bolsheviks signed a peace treaty with Germany in 1918. This triggered a civil war to breakout and the Bolsheviks owned all victory. This is when the Revolution led to the creation of the U.S.S.R. It wasn't until 1924, seven years after the monarchy was overthrown by the Russian Revolution, that the U.S.S.R. was created. The U.S.S.R., also known as The Union of Soviet Socialist Republic or just the Soviet Union, was later diminished in 1991.
