The death of Czar Nicholas II was not the cause of any war. World War I broke because he had allied himself with Serbia and sent troops against the Central Powers. His death did not cause the Russian Civil War either since he was murdered during it. With that said, a good number of counter revolutionaries favored the Romanov's return to power. Lenin, by his cruel execution of the Czar and his family ended that idea.
Tsar Nicholas II was the final Tsar of Russia. He lead the once grand Romanov family into the ground with his horrid leadership skills. he was hated by the Russian people, and was overthrown by the Provisional Government that lead to the Bolshevik Revolution, aka the Russian Revolution. The government of Russia at this point switched from Monarchy to Communism under the Bolsheviks.
Father Gapon led a peaceful protest through St. Petersburg. He had a petition requesting liberal reforms from Tsar Nicholas II. Despite it being a peaceful protest, the Tsar's army opened fire killing around 1,000 people in what became know as Bloody Sunday (not to be confused with the U2 song). Bloody Sunday highlighted the Tsar's cruelty which lead to a big protest called the General Strike of 1905. This forced the Tsar to make some reformative changes in what is now known as the 1905 Russian Revolution. However, the Tsar basically reverse his reforms not long after through the Fundamental Laws, and the Russia people were still dissatisfied with the Tsar which is why the 1917 Revolutions still occurred.
(Archduke Ferdinand). The first world war.
Vladimir Lenin was the leader of the Bolsheviks when the Russian monarchy was overthrown, BUT, the Bolsheviks were not the ones who overthrew the monarchy. That had already been done six months earlier.
During the early 1900's, Russia had sustained embarrassing military losses, ineffective leadership solutions, and the country was engaged in an economic shutdown. The people had lost faith in the Tsar's ability to lead, and took to the streets in protest. When Nicholas II ordered his troops to attack the protestors, many of whom were women, the army refused, supporting the protestors instead of suppressing them. At this point, the Duma asked the Tsar to abdicate, and a provisional government was established.
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!
Tsar Nicholas II did not actively want World War I to continue, but he felt a strong sense of duty to support Russia's allies and maintain the Eastern Front against Germany. Initially, he believed that the war could lead to a stronger Russia and bolster his regime. However, as the war dragged on and the toll on Russia increased, the Tsar's support for the conflict waned, especially as public discontent grew and military failures mounted. Ultimately, the war contributed to the decline of his reign and the fall of the Romanov dynasty.

Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra, contributed to the Russian Revolution through their detachment from the struggles of the common people and their reliance on the mystic Rasputin, which undermined their credibility. Their inability to address widespread poverty, military failures during World War I, and the growing discontent among workers and peasants intensified public anger. This disconnect fostered an environment ripe for revolution, culminating in the 1917 Bolshevik uprising that ultimately led to the fall of the Romanov dynasty.
Nicholas had problems like Rasputin and not listening to the Duma, the elected Parliment throughout his reign. However, the disregard for the lives being lost in the war and his spending money and food on the war when the people were poor and starving were what made the people decide to finally rebel.

Russia
(Archduke Ferdinand). The first world war.
Vladimir Lenin was the leader of the Bolsheviks when the Russian monarchy was overthrown, BUT, the Bolsheviks were not the ones who overthrew the monarchy. That had already been done six months earlier.
Russia had no president during WWI; it was a monarchy at the beginning lead by Tsar Nicolas II, however the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 forced the Tsar to abdicate the throne. After the Tsar was executed along with his family, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin seized power along with the other communists. The communists ended Russia's involvement in WWI and signed the treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
During the early 1900's, Russia had sustained embarrassing military losses, ineffective leadership solutions, and the country was engaged in an economic shutdown. The people had lost faith in the Tsar's ability to lead, and took to the streets in protest. When Nicholas II ordered his troops to attack the protestors, many of whom were women, the army refused, supporting the protestors instead of suppressing them. At this point, the Duma asked the Tsar to abdicate, and a provisional government was established.
He was the last Tsar of Russia because the Russian people were frustrated with his lack of military competence. Under his reign, Russia lost the Russo-Japanese war of 1905. After this embarrassing military defeat, Nicholas II assumed personal control of the military efforts. During World War I, with the Tsar as the head military general, the Russians still lost some key battle causing the people and the soldiers to lose faith in his ability to lead. The people of Russian were displeased about entering WWI in general because they thought, and rather correctly, that the only reason why they were fighting was because of previous diplomatic alliances entered into by the Tsar. While away at the front, Nicholas II left his wife in charge of the domestic government issues. His wife Alexandra was of German descent and the people thought she was a German spy during World War I. Because of disloyalty of the army, economic turmoil, public starvation, and an ailing son (Alexei heir to the throne was a hemophiliac), Tsar Nicholas II of Russia abdicated the throne on March 14th, 1917. Government was handed over to his brother who refused the throne unless the people should elect him to be King. Instead, a provisional government was established. This is known as the February Revolution of 1917, though the revolution really happened in March according the Gregorian calendar. As a side note: This really had nothing to with the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks just yet, that was the October Revolution of 1917.
