In what year did the Bolshevik Revolution take place?

• A. 1917
• B. 1905
• C. 1914
• D. 1922

Answer: (A)

The year of the Bolshevik Revolution is 1917. This event marks when the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, seized power in Russia during the October Revolution, following the upheaval of the February Revolution that toppled the Tsar. The broader context is a country exhausted by World War I, with a weak Provisional Government struggling to govern. The Bolsheviks gained momentum in the soviets and, in October 1917, took control of key political centers, establishing a government that would lead to the creation of the Soviet state. The other dates reflect different moments: 1905 was a previous, separate uprising; 1914 marks the start of World War I; 1922 is when the Soviet Union was formally established, not when Bolshevik rule began.
