Document Summary

The russian revolution and new hope for germany. Unlike in other states, socialist movements and parties are illegal. The socialist movements that grow in russia become inherently revolutionary and terroristic. Because of the lack of political outlets. Socialist groups advocate terrorism: bloody sunday, the duma and short-lived reform. The first revolution (1905) was a result of a humiliating war (against japan) Tsar nicholas says he will give civil rights to more people. As soon as revolutionary threat has past, he takes everything back, doesn"t listen to the duma. When the war starts, it"s still an autocracy. When things go well, the dictator can take all of the credit, but when things go wrong, the dictator is blamed. Tsar nicholas blamed for outcome of war because he takes personal charge of armed forces. The war does not go well for russia. They were unhappy because of way due to the conditions they live in.
