Tsar Nicholas II was responsible for touching off the first part of the Russian Revolution, the February Revolution. Russian people including workers, soldiers and peasants were dissatisfied with the way he was running the government. Russia was suffering huge losses in World War 1, food in the cities was scarce and the distribution of land among the more wealthy owners was unfair. He was unable or refused to rectify these situations so citizens of Petrograd and other cities broke out into mass demonstrations against him and his government. He abdicated the throne once he realized that he no longer had control of police or military forces to stop the rioting.
As to the second revolution, the October Revolution, he had no role because he was completely out of power, under arrest and in the custody of the Provisional Government.
