Why did Bloody Sunday break the idea of the Tsar as a kind protector?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because firing took place on a peaceful petition procession
On 22 January 1905, workers and their families approached the Winter Palace in St Petersburg with a petition asking the Tsar to improve working conditions, reduce hardship and grant political reforms. They expected him to act as a protective father figure, but troops fired on the largely peaceful procession. Many people were killed or wounded, and the event became known as Bloody Sunday. The violence shattered trust in the image of the benevolent Tsar and helped trigger strikes and wider unrest. Therefore option A is correct; the other events did not occur in this way or at that time.
