 **Revolution of 1905** The cause of the revolution of 1905 was being blamed towards the horrible government. On January 1905, workers and families went up to the tsar to show him a petition. The workers were being led by Father Gapon when troops all of a sudden broke out and ended up “killing and wounding hundreds” of people (McKay et al 838). This event became known as the bloody Sunday and led hundreds of workers against the tsar. “By the summer of 1905 strikes, peasant uprisings, revolts among minority nationalities, and troop mutinies were sweeping the country.” (McKay et al 838). This revolution led to the creation of the State Duma of the Russian empire, the multi party system, and the Russian constitution of 1906.
