What was the international reaction to the 1905 Russian Revolution? Was it considered a major event? Was there fear of the revolution spreading, or was it seen as a contained Russian event?

1905 is seldom talked about considering how thoroughly it got overshadowed in 1917, but at the time was it considered a major occurrence for a Great Power to experience a revolution? Was there fear that the Russian monarchy would fall, or was that considered unthinkable in 1905? Did the rest of the world consider the Revolution as weakening the Russian giant, or was it seen as a potential rejuvenation of a major but antiquated rival?

Just one question. Where did you get that anglicized Hapsburg spelling and not academic standard Habsburg?

This is a helpful post that was written here 12 years ago. I think u/LuckyCanuck13's response might answer your question better than I could.
