    The Russian Revolution began in 1917 as Russian troops grew tired of fighting in World War I with little food and high inflation at home. Workers, peasants and soldiers began joining the Bolshevik party led by Vladimir Lenin who promised "Bread, Peace, Land." In October 1917, the Bolsheviks overthrew the provisional government that replaced Tsar Nicholas II. A civil war erupted as the Bolsheviks consolidated power, and Lenin signed a peace treaty with Germany in 1918 to focus on the revolution.
