When did Czar Nicholas step down as Czar?

Answer 1

In 1917, Russia was still an Ally in WW 1 and was battling Germany on the eastern front of the war. The Russian army however was doing poorly against the German forces. The war was placing severe strains on the Russian people and on their economy. The nation was not happy with Czar Nicholas II.In March of 1917, to the surprise of many people, including the various leaders of revolutionary groups, a seemingly spontaneous uprising occurred in Petrograd. This popular uprising forced the Czar to step down from power. A democratically inclined provisional government was installed, however, the war continued. It was later in 1917, that the provisional government led by Alexander Kerensky, was overthrown by the Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin.
