What happened in the Bolshevik takeover?

The Bolshevik takeover, known as the October Revolution of 1917, was a pivotal event in Russian history where the Bolshevik Party, led by Vladimir Lenin, seized control of the government from the Provisional Government. This coup was largely orchestrated in response to widespread discontent with the Provisional Government's failure to address issues like land reform and ongoing participation in World War I. The revolution culminated in the storming of the Winter Palace on October 25 (Julian calendar), leading to the establishment of a communist government. This event marked the beginning of a civil war and the eventual establishment of the Soviet Union.
