Government corruption was rampant, the Russian economy remained backward and Nicholas repeatedly dissolved the Duma, the toothless Russian parliament established after the 1905 revolution, when it opposed his will. Moderates soon joined Russian radical elements in calling for an overthrow of the hapless czar.

Tsar

The Russian monarchy was abolished, rather violently, a little more than a century ago, yet its descendants are alive and mostly well. On the commemorative anniversary of the murder of the tsar and his immediate family, more than 100,000 pilgrims gathered in a sacred place. We investigate what it’s all about.

Any ambiguity of ownership was settled very simply after the revolution, for all the Romanov assets in Russia itself were seized by the Bolshevik government. It took over the physical assets which remained: the palaces, the art collections, the jewels.

If Russia had won that battle, the Russian army could have headed straight for Berlin, forcing Germany to transfer troops from the West for a battle royal with the Russians near Berlin. A Russian victory near Berlin may have forced Germany to seek peace with Russia but not necessarily with France and Britain.

Key events:

• 1860s–1890s: The Khodynka Tragedy.
• 1900–1916: 1905 Revolution and Bloody Sunday | Outbreak of First World War.
• 1917: February Revolution | June Offensive | July Days | October Revolution | Kornilov affair.

How did the feelings of the people in Russia in 1917 help the February revolution to succeed? Most of the Russians were upset because of the food shortage. This helped the revolution succeed was that many people were upset with the government that a revolution was appealing.

Economically, widespread inflation and food shortages in Russia contributed to the revolution. Militarily, inadequate supplies, logistics, and weaponry led to heavy losses that the Russians suffered during World War I; this further weakened Russia’s view of Nicholas II.

Bloody Sunday in 1905 and the Russian defeat in the Russo-Japanese War both helped lead to the 1917 revolution. After taking over, the Bolsheviks promised ‘peace, land, and bread’ to the Russian people. In 1917 Lenin returned to Russia from exile with German help.

The immediate causes of the 1905 revolution were failed state-level leadership and policy, inflation poverty, hunger, Russo-Japanese War, the rise of reformer and revolutionary groups, and Bloody Sunday.

Up to 200 people were killed by rifle fire and Cossack charges. This event became known as Bloody Sunday and is seen as one of the key causes of the 1905 Revolution. The aftermath brought about a short-lived revolution in which the Tsar lost control of large areas of Russia.

The “Bloody Sunday”is responsible for the revolution in Russian because it gave rise to protests after the mass killings of the poor steel workers who were gunned down by Tsar’s forces ,peasant unrest was seen,political mobilisation took place which laid down the base for the 1905 revolution.
