0:50Now PlayingTill 1917 Tsar Nicholas II ruled Russia. His reign was marred by a series of calamities, including the disastrous Russo-Japanese War and the immense suffering brought about by World War I.
The tipping point came in 1917 when widespread dissatisfaction with the autocratic rule, food shortages, and the strain of war culminated in the February Revolution. Mass protests erupted, and the tsar's authority crumbled as his own soldiers joined the demonstrators. Nicholas II abdicated the throne in March 1917, ending three centuries of Romanov rule.
Following the tsar's abdication, a provisional government briefly took control, but it too struggled to address the nation's challenges. This allowed the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, to seize power in the October Revolution later that year, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Soviet Union and the definitive end of the Russian monarchy. Nicholas II and his family were executed in 1918.
