October Revolution

The October Revolution was the second major uprising in Russia in 1917, in which Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik party seized power from the government that had taken control after the first revolution earlier that year. It matters because it led to the creation of the Soviet Union and became one of the most consequential political events of the 20th century, reshaping global politics, economics, and ideology for decades to come.
