United States recognizes the Russian Provisional Government

President Wilson's administration formally extended diplomatic recognition to the Provisional Government that replaced the abdicated Tsar Nicholas II.

Recognition signaled U.S. support for a non-Bolshevik, democratic regime in Russia and aligned American diplomacy with Allied hopes for a stable partner on the Eastern Front.
