[Wiki] Bloody Sunday (1905)

Bloody Sunday (Russian: Крова́вое воскресе́нье; IPA: [krɐˈvavəɪ vəskrʲɪˈsʲenʲjɪ]) is the name given to the events of Sunday, 22 January [O.S. 9 January] 1905 in St Petersburg, Russia, where unarmeddemonstrators led by Father Georgy Gapon were fired upon by soldiers of the Imperial Guard as they marched towards the Winter Palace to present a petition to Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.
Bloody Sunday caused grave consequences for the Tsarist autocracy governing Imperial Russia, showing disregard for ordinary people which undermined the state. The events in St. Petersburg provoked public outrage and a series of massive strikes that spread quickly throughout the industrial centres of the Russian Empire. The massacre on Bloody Sunday is considered to be the start of the active phase of the Revolution of 1905. In addition to beginning the 1905 Revolution, historians such as Lionel Kochan in his book Russia in Revolution 1890-1918 view the events of Bloody Sunday to be one of the key events which led to the Russian Revolution of 1917.
The drought of 1905 in Russia had made the people helpless. In 1904-05 war Japan defeated Russia. This created an anti-Tsar climate in Russia. The battle against Japan had weakened the economy of Russia. The workers, the common people and the intellectuals of Russia rose Under the guidance of Father Gapon to revolt against the royal reign. The soldiers of the Tsar attacked the revolting people. This armed conflict caused a big loss of human life. As this event took place on the Sunday in 1905, it was called the 'Bloody Sunday'.
