Answer:

However, the immediate cause of the February Revolution–the first phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917–was Russia's disastrous involvement in World War I. Militarily, imperial Russia was no match for industrialized Germany, and Russian casualties were greater than those sustained by any nation in any previous war.

Around 500,000 men or Half a million
