The October Revolution:
The Birth of Communism Around the World

Thesis
In 1917, Bolshevik revolutionaries led by Vladimir Lenin staged a widespread coup against the unsuccessful provisional government of Russia, leading to the establishment of the world’s first Marxist-Communist government. The creation of the Soviet Union was a major turning point as it exposed the world to Communism, majorly contributed to the global spread of the ideology, and set the stage for decades of confrontation with the capitalist West.
