The 1905 Revolution in Latvia was a revolution during the Russian Revolution of 1905. The revolution started in 13 January, following a shooting of a demonstration in Riga, and continued with a strike movement in October and a uprising in December. Because of this, a martial law was introduced in Courland Governorate and Governorate of Livonia to suppress the rebellion by sending Russian troops and Cossack units, or punitive expedition.
In the summer of 1906, the revolution was formally suppressed, but local protests continued until 1907.
Aftermath
[edit]The nobility in the Baltic governorates kept their basic privileges, the Landtag of Courland and Livonia remained the highest municipal authorities. However, the russification decreased, and a ban was lifted in Latgale. The Latvian language was allowed to be taught in folk school, but was abolished in 1913.
Nicholas II signed a special order which allowed the creation of cooperations in the Baltic governorates. The German Land Bank were stripped of their Monopoly rights.[1]
