Description: The October Revolution, or Bolshevik Revolution, was a takeover of the Russian government in 1917 by a group of radical socialists led by Vladimir Lenin, and was the second part of the Russian Revolution. This video examines all the groups and elements working against the Bolsheviks, and how they overcame them. It should also be made clear that the ‘underdog’ moniker in the title is not meant to frame the Bolsheviks positively. This is merely the first episode in a new series, ‘Underdogs of History’. ★ ★Support on Patreon: patreon.com/williamcfox Share This Video ➜ youtu.be/XklP-jw_E1Y Watch Part one on the Russian Revolution here: youtu.be/0623t6JmWpc ▼Twitter➜ twitter.com/williamcfox Facebook➜ facebook.com/williamfoxc Instagram➜ https://instagram.com/williamcfox .1.
