The Provisional Government voted to remove the Czar Nicholas II from office. When Nicholas tried to return to his palace from the Eastern Front of World War I, it quickly became apparent that the military had thrown its lot in with the revolutionaries. This made abdication his only option, and when his brother declined the throne, Russia became a republic.
