This showed the Tsar had no intention of giving the Duma power and wanted it to be a puppet organisation so to get foreign loans. The first Duma met from April to June 1906. The majority
As Russia gradually modernized between 1801 and 1939, it continued to rule over the people by intimidation with the incorporation of the secret police force. The secret police force would continue to play a large part of Russia’s attempts in controlling its people while the different forms of governments constantly changed due to the people’s discontentment.

The pressing issue that the UK government will have to face is what we to do with such an ominous player in world affairs, without a clear idea on what to do upon China’s most recent rise to power the government may just be buying a ticket

form of governing, the 1905 Revolution, Bloody Sunday, and the Russo-Japanese war. Nicholas II came into rule in 1894 due to his father, Alexander III, dying suddenly of kidney failure. Nicholas was inexperienced and ill-prepared to be the Tsar of Russia and said to his brother-in-law, “I am not prepared to be a Tsar. I never wanted to become one. I know nothing of the business of ruling.” Indeed, these factors were key in his eventual overthrow at the hands of the bolsheviks in 1917. Nicholas
One was a long-term cause, the foundations of all the other causes, without which the country would not have been in such a bad state.
