☭ THE FEBRUARY REVOLUTION BEGINS

March 8, 1917 — On International Women's Day, the women of Petrograd take to the frozen streets, their cries for bread echoing off the Winter Palace walls. What begins as a protest over food rations ignites into a revolution that will topple a 300-year dynasty.

The Tsar's soldiers, ordered to fire on their own people, hesitate. Many lower their rifles. The crowd swells. By week's end, Nicholas II will abdicate, and the Romanov dynasty will be no more.
