oct 30, 1905 - 1905 Revolution - October Manifesto
Description:
The Tsar calmed the public by offering concessions to the middle classes in the form of a Duma which led to the right of free speech and the right to form political parties. This split his opponents, as they had no strong leader so the Tsar could crush the peasant rebellions in the countryside and the workers rebellions in the city.Added to timeline:
