The Russian Revolution (1905) was an empire-wide struggle of violence,
both anti-government and undirected, that swept through vast areas of the
Russian Empire. It was not controlled or managed, and it had no single cause
or aim, but instead was the culmination of decades of unrest and
dissatisfaction
stemming from the autocratic rule of the Romanov dynasty and the slow pace of
reform in Russian society as well as calls for national liberation by
non-Russians within the Empire. The direct cause was the abject failure of the
Czar's military forces in the initially-popular Russo-Japanese War, which set
off a series of revolutionary activities, sometimes by mutinous soldiers and
at other times by revolutionary societies.
