Lets investigate the life of Tsar Nicholas II
Nicholas II was the last tsar of Russia under Romanov rule. He was born on May 6, 1868 in Pushkin. He inherited the throne when his father Alexander III, died in 1894 of Kidney disease. He believed in autocracy and did his best to hold onto absolute rule in Russia. However, he was eventually forced to create an elected legislature. His poor handling of political, social and economic situations and grievances incensed his subjects and led to his abdication. Then in 1918, Nicholas II and his family were executed by the Bolsheviks.
