On January 22, 1905, about 200,000 workers and their families approached the czar's Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. They carried a petition asking for better working conditions, more personal freedom, and an elected national legislature. Nicholas II's general ordered soldiers to fire on the crowd. More than 1,000 were wounded and several hundred were killed. Bloody Sunday provoked a wave of strikes and violence that spread across the country, which led to Nicholas II's reluctant approval of the creation of the Duma(first met in May 1906). Its leaders were moderates who wanted Russia to become a constitutional monarchy similiar to Britain. But because he was hesitant to share his power, the Czar dissolved the Duma after ten weeks.
