How did the russo japanese war cause the russian revolution?
Russia’s government was shaken by the 1905 Revolutions and Bloody Sunday which were partly caused by the Russo-Jap war. The citizens of Russia were unhappy with their country and wanted them to stop fuelling the Russo-Jap war, decrease work day to 8 hours, clean up the corrupt government and demobilized soldiers of the Russo-Jap war were vandalizing railways in anger. These events lead to more political terrorism in Russia, along with the killing of unarmed, peaceful protestors by the Russian Imperial guard on Bloody Sunday. Russia’s foundation of absolute monarchy is challenged as new opposition parties rose.
