oct 17, 1905 - The October Manifesto
Description:
The October Manifesto was a decree issued by Russian Emperor Nicholas II on October 17, 1905, in response to widespread unrest during the 1905 Russian Revolution. It promised basic civil liberties, including freedom of speech, assembly, and association, and pledged the creation of a legislative Duma (parliament) with limited powers. While it temporarily appeased some moderates, it failed to fully address the demands of more radical groups, leading to continued instability and mistrust of the monarchy.Added to timeline:
