Event Details
Amid the February Revolution, Czar Nicholas II of Russia abdicated the throne on March 15, 1917, ending the 304-year Romanov dynasty.
A provisional government was established, but the power vacuum eventually allowed Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks to seize control in the October Revolution later that year.
