The civil war came later, after the different factions couldn't agree on what to replace the monarchy with. The February Revolution ended the Tsar's reign; the October Revolution ousted the interim Provisional Government which had taken over after the Tsar, and that kicked off the civil war. On topic: in terms of violent revolutions as opposed to cultural or industrial revolutions, I'd say the difference is the time scale. A revolution that succeeds (or fails) quickly doesn't get called a civil war unless it's particularly bloody; a revolution that drags on and involves the entire country is called a civil war. --- There are four lights. <cite>willythemailboy posted [p:978821845] in is there a...
