What happened on Wednesday July 18, 1917?

Here's what happened on July 18, 1917:

• July Days Uprising in Petrograd During the tumultuous summer of 1917, a significant political crisis erupted in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) when Bolshevik-supported workers and soldiers staged massive demonstrations against the Provisional Government. The uprising, known as the July Days, represented a critical moment in the Russian Revolution. Vladimir Lenin, sensing the potential danger, quickly fled to Finland to avoid arrest, while his close ally Leon Trotsky was detained by government forces. These events dramatically exposed the growing tensions between the Bolsheviks and the current revolutionary government, ultimately setting the stage for the October Revolution later that year.
