Tsar Nicholas II was the nominal leader of Russia during World War I, until the October and November Revolutions in 1917 unseated him from power. In 1917, the Bolsheviks, under the leadership of Lenin took control and quickly ended the war with Germany and Austro-Hungary with the treaty of Brest-Litvosk.
