Who was the ruler in Russia in 1914?

Nicholas II of Russia (18 May 1868- 17 July 1918) was the last crowned Emperor of Russia, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland. He ruled from 1894 until his forced abdication in 1917. It is said that Nicholas proved unequal to the combined tasks of managing a country in political turmoil and commanding its army in the largest international war to date. His rule ended with the Russian Revolution of 1917, after which he and his family were executed by Bolsheviks. Nicholas's full name was Nikolai Aleksandrovich Romanov. His official title was Nicholas II, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias.2 He is also known both as Nicholas the Martyr for having been murdered without trial and as Nicholas the Bloody for the tragic events during his coronation.


Identify the causes and effects of the Russian revolution?

The Russian Revolution was primarily caused by widespread discontent with the autocratic rule of Tsar Nicholas II, exacerbated by economic hardship, military defeats in World War I, and social inequality. The effects included the abdication of the Tsar, the establishment of a provisional government, and ultimately the rise of the Bolsheviks, leading to the creation of the Soviet Union. The revolution drastically altered Russia's political landscape, transitioning from imperial rule to a communist state, and set off a wave of revolutionary movements worldwide. Additionally, it resulted in significant social changes, including land redistribution and the promotion of workers' rights.


1How did Nicholas II feel about democracy?

When Nicholas was young he was tutored by Konstantin Pobedonostsev. Pobedonostsev taught Nicholas that autocracy was the only possible government for imperial Russia. Nicholas took his lessons to heart. When it came to Nicholas' reign (1894-1917) He was suspicious of any change and therefore, until forced to during the 1905 revolution, did not extend political rights of anybody in Russia for fear that his own posistion would be threatened. He had no interest in democracy, and thought an autocratic government was the only one by which to rule.

Who led the Decembrist Revolution and what did they want?

The Decembrist Revolution occurred in Russia after Tsar Alexander I died and it was kind of a competition for power and the position of the Tsar. It was not really lead by any one person, it was a bunch of people each trying to gain power for themselves. The revolution ended when Tsar Alexander I's relative, Tsar Nicholas I, took his place as the tsar of Russia. Tsar Nicholas I was very conservative in his rule to try and stop revolts such as the Decembrist Revolution from happening again. I hope this helped!
