The two states were separate with their own constitution,, but were ruled by the sam person, Francis Joseph, shared the same finance ministries, defense, and foreign trading affairs.

Reformers hoped to bring Enlightenment ideals such as constitutional government and social justice. Under pressure, tsars introduced some reforms but soon reverted to repression when ongoing unrest threatened their throne. By 1815, Russia was not only the largest, most populous nation in Europe but also a great world power. Other European powers, including Britain and France, watched Russia anxiously. At the same time, Russia remained economically undeveloped.

Russia had land and minerals as well as a large population, which created the perfect storm for factory working. soon the urban working class began. however, industrialization increased social and political problems, as well as creating new social problems in forms of working long hours, with low pay and in dangerous conditions.

When the war ended, Russia was at the bottom of the barrel and its loss was a call for change. With pressure from liberals and students, Alexander II agreed to reforms and issued a decree to grant freedoms to slaves and serfs. 

This decree brought many problems, such as people being too poor to buy land and the lands were too small to farm properly on. He tried making a local government but failed to please many. Alexander II was assassinated and his son took over. Jews were most of the population soon after Alexander III became tsar. This spark a violent outrage toward jews and many were attacked and killed. They became refugees and sought for a safer home in the U.S.

When riots for nationalism arose the Hapsburgs crushed them. Eventually Francis Joseph made some reforms and created a legislature, however this legislature was made up of primarily German speaking Austrians, which didn't represent the whole area in which it ruled.

After the military losses the people released built up discontent from years of oppression. The riot called Bloody Sunday happed when protesters were shot down by the Russian soldiers, this event caused people lose all faith in the tsar. After Bloody Sunday more riots and protests broke out. Eventually Nicolas announced his October Manifesto giving the people freedom of person, conscience, speech, assembly and union. this still isolated socialists, which still kept the tsar in power. In 1906 Peter Stolypin was appointed to reform. He issued arrests, pogroms and executions as he sought to restore orders.
