The historical consequences of the Bolshevik Revolution included the establishment of a communist regime in Russia, leading to the creation of the Soviet Union. This revolution, which overthrew the provisional government in October 1917, resulted in significant social, political, and economic changes. The Bolsheviks sought to eliminate class structures, redistribute land, and nationalize industries, impacting millions of lives. The revolution also incited civil war, leading to widespread famine, repression, and the establishment of a one-party state. It influenced global communism, inspiring revolutionary movements worldwide and setting the stage for the Cold War, reshaping international relations over the 20th century.
