The Russian forces regarded itself as superior to the armies of Japan but actually experienced an embarrassing defeat. Due to this, the prices of essential goods increased and the real wages of the workers declined.
2. The tyranny of Tsar: The king of Russia possessed absolute political power. Therefore, people wanted to change their government.
