Tsar Nicholas II of Russia was officially overthrown when he abdicated the throne on March15, 1917. His political power had effectively ended a few days before that, so the abdication was but a formality. This was probably done in a futile effort to save the lives of himself and his family. It was in vain however as he and all of his family were executed on July 17, 1918.
