Tsar Nicholas had started a war with Germany that he then lost, which often in history has caused the downfall of the regime responsible. And Nicholas was held directly responsible, since starting it had been his personal decision and because he had been foolish enough to assume actual supreme command over the army, so the blame for the defeats fell directly on him.

Plus, the Germans as a part of their war policy had decided to destabilise Russia from within by encouraging and allowing Lenin to travel from Zwitserland where he lived to Russia in order to stir up trouble among the Russian troops and proletariat. Which he did, very succesfully.
