The incident leading to the Russian Revolution of 1905 was called "Bloody Sunday." A mass of peaceful demonstrators had been walking toward a bridge to the Tsar's Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. Before they got there Russian Cossack cavalry charged through the crowd killing unarmed civilians until they rode all the way through the crowd. Then they rode back through once again. After that, Russian infantry fired volley after volley into the crowd until it dispersed. The incident touched off the 1905 Revolution in which Tsar Nicholas II promised to institute a national parliament called the Duma.
