In an attempt to increase their wages, industrial workers went on strike. The Tsar’s indecisiveness, the reality of him continuing the war against Germany although there were many thousands of casualties and the rest of Russia was starving due to the bad transportation systems, and the fact that he had broken his promises from the October Manifesto after the
Their anger was made evident during the peasant disturbances of 1902. The landowners were also unhappy with the terms of emancipation. They lost the free labour of their serfs and a large amount of land. As a result many were facing huge debts by 1905. Another long-term cause of the 1905 Revolution was the general disappointment with which many Russian people viewed the reforms of the previous decades.
Not only was it the population of the Russian empire that turned against the Tsars, but the Army too. They were many revolts in the countryside; of which were suppressed by the army. This caused problems as the army was mainly structured of peasants. This meant mutinies were to come into play – 200 from October to December. In addition to this, troops within the far-East wanted deployment as they disagreed with the rules after the Manifesto.
The issue has been long debated enough, and people have demanded a change or a law, to crackdown for those responsible who disobeyed the law and allowing the unauthorized to stay and work in the country. Some states were already stepping in and made their own laws against illegal immigrants. The result, it brings a huge impact to agriculture industry losing millions of the dollars in the farm business. It’s been a battle for the U.S. government and all the states to look for resolutions in order to resolve the predicaments, but no action has been put into effect. Since, immigration system still dysfunctional, there are many problems with the immigration policy that the U.S. federal government should focus on.
How accurate is it to say growth of reformist groups in the years from 1881 was the main cause of 1905 revolution? Long term- social • 80% peasants- poverty- a lot of ppl against him as he was making them work like slaves- should have helped them because majority & produce the food • Peasants reacted to famine with violence= had enough- attacked gov officials & destroyed gov land holding records • Poor working & living conditions- why wasn’t the Tsar * Agricultural crisis: peasants had huge debts; not enough land for everyone; famine. * Rapid industrialisation: over populated cities; workers living in slums; wages low; hours long. Long term – political • Autocracy- gave Tsar all power but was mostly helping upper class • No elected national parliament= demand for political reform • Reformers had nothing in common apart hate for Tsar= desperation * ruled by a Tsar, who had complete control over the country. However, he was a weak ruler and failed to rule his people properly * he treated opposition with violence and the Okhrana (the secret police) * Political repression; compared with other countries democracies; Tsar was VERY WEAK and easily influenced.
Why did the 1905 Revolution fail? The 1905 Revolution was a major crisis for the government and came as a result of both long and short term causes. A month after Bloody Sunday, half a million workers went on strike in protest at the massacre, by the end of the year this had risen to 2.7 million. The strikes affected the railways, so food could not be delivered to the towns and cities., the peasants started revolting by stealing land from their landowners. Eventually national minorities engaged in widespread protests.
The Causes and Impacts of the Revolutions of 1917 – Joe Ewbank Part One 'Bloody Sunday' took place on 22nd January 1905, when around 200,000 peasants protested about working conditions led by Father Gapon. They marched peacefully to the Winter Palace, where the Tsar lived, to give him a petition. The men guarding the palace panicked as Tsar Nicholas II was not home, and open fired at the protesters, killing hundreds and wounding thousands. This lost the Tsar huge amounts of popularity; before they were protesting to work with the Tsar, later against him. The Tsar lost popularity for many reasons between 1905 and 1914.
But after abit of time the death of people began to increase rapidly. Wars and massacres is an impact also experienced by Indians in North America. The most tragic war of the Indians was the battle of the Wounded Knee. In this massacre there was a place in the Sioux community which was a very dangerous place for the Sioux people so big foot the Sioux chief decided to move to a safer place. One of the US soldiers orders the Sioux people to go back to their place HOWEVER one Sioux soldier didn’t want to go back and people started to fight back in a result 300 men including women and children were killed.
In addition, the takeover of railway lines of the army thwarted food, armours and weapons to reach the army quickly. In Moscow only, they have been receiving 2,000 railway wagons of grain per month in 1914 but until 1916, it had been cutting down to 300 wagons. This was not enough to feed people in the city per day. This resulted in the people of Russian become irritated and take part in the strike forcing the Tsar to abdicate. Secondly, the economy of Russia was awfully damaged.
Farms were forced to be share croppers where they rented their land for a very high price, farmed and harvested it and then sold it at market. The problem with this is that the rent that the farmers were being charged was so high that they could never make any money to get ahead in life and they were constantly concerned with their crops. If their crops failed then they would not be able to pay the lord that owned they land and then they may not even be able to eat. This cycle went on in France for many years until the Industrial Revolution started and people started to move away from the farms and into the big cities where work could be found. The Industrial Revolutions started for many reasons but some of the most important were science and technology, inventions and greed.
