1905 Russian Revolution (22 Jan 1905 Jahr – 16 Jul 1907 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

The Russian Revolution of 1905 was a wave of mass political and social unrest that spread through vast areas of the Russian Empire, some of which was directed at the government. It included worker strikes, peasant unrest, and military mutinies. It led to Constitutional Reform including the establishment of the State Duma, the multi-party system, and the Russian Constitution of 1906.
The 1905 revolution was spurred by Russian defeat in the Russo-Japanese war. It did not overthrow the empire but was a forerunner for the Russian revolutions of 1917 which had the same causes and were spurred by the Russian defeat in World War I. This led in the first place to the fall of the empire and later to the creating of the Soviet Union by the bolsheviks.
