The February Revolution is referred to as the March Revolution in many contexts, particularly in Western historiography, because of the difference in calendar systems. Russia was still using the Julian calendar in 1917, which placed the February Revolution in February, while most of the world was using the Gregorian calendar, where the events occurred in early March. This discrepancy led to the alternative name, even though the revolution itself took place in February according to the Julian calendar.
