Explanation:

In the early 1900s, the peasants and lower class workers in Russia lived lives of poverty. They had little food, worked long hours, and had dangerous working conditions. In 1905, under the leadership of a priest named George Gapon, thousands of workers organized a march to the Tsar's palace. They believed that the government was at fault, but that the Tsar was still on their side. As the marchers peacefully advanced, soldiers from the army stood guard and tried to block a bridge approaching the palace. The soldiers fired into the crowd killing many of the marchers. This day is now known as Bloody Sunday. The actions of the Tsar's soldiers came as a surprise to the people. They now felt they could no longer trust the Tsar and that he wasn't on their side.
