The Provisional Government, established after the February Revolution of 1917, sought to continue Russia's involvement in World War I, believing that maintaining alliances with the Allies was crucial for national stability and international credibility. In contrast, the Bolsheviks opposed the war, arguing that it primarily served the interests of the capitalist elites and called for an immediate withdrawal from the conflict to focus on addressing domestic issues. This fundamental disagreement over Russia's role in the war significantly contributed to the growing support for the Bolsheviks and their eventual takeover in the October Revolution.
