Best Answer

Nicholas II, his wife, their children, and four servants were shot to death in 1918 because the murderers wanted to gain the power of leading Russia.

Not quite true. The murderers were already in power and had been holding Nicholas II and his family in captivity for about a year. They wanted to prevent the Romanovs from ever coming back and regaining the throne. Sometimes an overthrown leader might leave his country, mount a coup, then return to rule once again. The Bolsheviks wanted to prevent this from happening.

No, the Romanovs were killed the Russian Civil War several months after the Russian Revolution. The Tsar abdicated in March 1917. Then The Bolsheviks took over in October 1917. The Russian Revolution was then over and the Russian Civil War started. The Romanovs were killed in July 1918 during the Russian Civil War.Revolution

No, the Romanovs died during the Russian Civil War. The Russian Revolution was complete by October 27, 1917. After that, the Russian Civil War started. The Romanovs were executed in July 1918 in order to prevent a unit of the White Army from capturing them from the Bolsheviks and restoring Nicholas II to the throne.
