Government ministers had sworn an oath of loyalty to Nicholas. Now that the royal family was no longer in existence, these men had no authority.
The Provisional Government was to last for 8 months. It was immediately recognised as the legitimate government of Russia by the Allies. The Provisional Government kept Russia in the war.
