In 1905, Tsar Nicholas II ordered Imperial Troops to stop a group of protestors from reaching his Winter Palace at any cost, in an event that would come to be known as "Bloody Sunday," which would set off a chain of events that would lead to the toppling of the Tsarist Monarchy, one of the bloodiest civil wars in history, and the creation of a nation that would eventually strike fear into the hearts of the citizens in democratic countries across the globe.
