Causes and Consequences of the Russian Revolution of 1905

This essay on Russia's 1905 Revolution (the First Russian Revolution) traces the causes back over decades, as growing discontent at the highly stratified order was compounded by Russia's humiliation in the Russo-Japanese War. The student explains the roles of Georgy Gapon, the Bolsheviks, and Nicholas II (and the October Manifesto) to demonstrate how 1905 set the stage for 1917.
