Detailed Solution

The incident where police killed 100 employees by attacking them while they were being brought to the Winter Palace was known as Bloody Sunday. Disgruntled steelworkers in St. Petersburg started the January 1905 incident with a largely peaceful protest. Thousands marched to the Winter Palace to urge Tsar Nicholas II for reform, furious over the poor work environment, the recession, and the continued war with Japan. Instead, the workers were shot dead in the streets by frightened soldiers in the absence of the Tsar. The "Bloody Sunday" massacres set off the 1905 Revolution, a period of strikes and protests, peasant unrest, planned terrorism, and political mobilisation.
