How did the struggle for basic human rights such as life, liberty, and freedom of expression influence the revolution of 1905?

The Russian Revolution of 1905 was prompted due to unrest among the Russian people regarding the political, economic, and societal standards of Tsarist Russia and the Russian Empire. Many average Russians wanted the opportunity to express themselves more freely than was allowed under the leadership of Tsar Nicholas II.

The Russian people also sought more political freedom and a new system that included components of constitutional monarchy rather than the autocracy they had lived under for decades. 

Finally, the Russian people sought a better life and standard of living following the brutal defeat in the Russo-Japanese War and expected the Russian government to provide more economic opportunities and stability.
