WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Depicted as strictly conservative in its support of the autocracy, the Assembly was a means of preventing revolutionary influences and appeasing the workers by striving for better conditions, hours, and pay. The Assembly acted as one of the catalysts for what later became known as Bloody Sunday.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the main reasons that the 1905 revolution failed was because the October Manifesto merely only satisfied the middle classes’ appetite for reform. However this was only a short term change in government therefore it was not really a revolution because the changes were not permanent.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the 1917 Revolution, the army supported the Petrograd Soviet rather than the Tsar as they did during the 1905 Revolution. In 1905 the Tsar was able to demonstrate his power in commanding the army to fire warning shots as well as shoot directly into the crowds to scatter the revolutionaries.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bloody Sunday, Russian Krovavoye Voskresenye, (January 9 [January 22, New Style], 1905), massacre in St. Petersburg, Russia, of peaceful demonstrators marking the beginning of the violent phase of the Russian Revolution of 1905.
