If you are referring to Czar Nicholas II, it is because he was not a military commander by training, even though he thought he was really quite fantastic.

In March of 1917, there was a Russian Revolution that took the Czar out of power. The goal of the new government was a democratic one. But they also wanted to continue the war with Germany. Losing it or quiting the war could be dangerous as Germany had every chance to conquer Russia. With that said, Lenin was sent into Russia from exile by the Germans. It was a quid pro quo that if Lenin took power he would take Russia out of WW 1. The Russian people were still starving and losing battles with Germany under the new democratic Provisional government. Lenin and his Bolshevik party promised to quit the war and bring a new beginning for Russia. Thus his October Bolshevik Revolution was a success. The treaty with Germany was, however, a costly one for Russia.
His cousin, the Kaiser of Germany, helped convince Nicholas that he should go to war with Japan, and that Russia could easily defeat them. The Kaiser had other motives for goading his cousin "Nicky" into war with Japan; if Japan defeated Russia, this would eliminate Russia as a competitor in the Naval Arms Race going on in Europe in 1903. The Kaiser's main adversary was Britain, and Germany was intent on building a battleship fleet that could challenge the Royal Navy...which he would eventually accomplish during WW1. What Germany didn't need was competition from Russia...and war with Japan would solve that problem. Secondly, Russia was expanding east, just as the United States had expanded westward in the 1800's. Russia had constructed a railroad crossing the Eurasian continent; again, just as the US had done with the North American continental railroad in the 1860's. Third, Russia was urgently in need of a "ice-free" seaport, and the pacific coast line offered Port Arthur, near present day Korea; which was the scene of bitter battles during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.

So, Nicholas went to war with Japan, and lost terribly and half of the island was taken over by Japan.
no. Russia did not favour Nicholas because of the effects of the world war on Russia and by taking over as commander in chief he was putting all the blame of the war on him. all the casualties, lack of supplies and economic faliure was on him.

No because everyone thought that he was a dangerous man and would not make a good commander
It's set in Russia. Referneces are made to the Czar ("may the Lord bless and keep the czar...far away fromthe rest of us"), Moscow, and Siberia.
The Czar entered WW I because he had a mutual defense pact with France and England. Although Germany began by invading France, they might have invaded Russia instead, and if they had, then Russia would have wanted France and England to come to its defense. Everybody was afraid of Germany. Furthermore, if Russia had ignored the mutual defense pact and simply allowed Germany to take over France, the time would have come when Germany would be finished with the pacification of France, and would be ready to take over other countries. Russia's time would come eventually. It was actually easier for Russia to join the fight in 1914, rather than waiting until Germany had become an even larger, stronger opponent.
Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown in the February Revolution of 1917 when he abdicated in March. Communist rule was not established until the end of October that year when the October Revolution by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks (later renamed Communists) overthrew Russia's Provisional Government and took over.
It would allow him to take over the Dardanelle Straight and provide Russian ships access to the Mediterranean Sea
There was a revolution in Russia, because, many people were starving, there was too much discrepancy between the rich and the poor. Russia was beaten badly by the Axis in WWI. The Russian rulers were incompetent, selfish people who got their power because they were born into it. There were too many things wrong with the country and the only way most people felt that positive changes could be brought about was with a revolution. Lenin was a very convincing speaker who gave the people the idea that he had better ideas to solve the country's problems than the Czar, Nicholas did.
The Bolshevik Revolution led by Vladimir Ilych Lenin marched in and captured and executed the last Czar of Russia along with his family and so Lenin implemented Communism.
Peter the Great, the czar of Russia was an important person in the history of Russia. He is an important leader because he tried to modernize Russia. He wanted to bring Russia closer to the Western European nations that were more sophisticated then Russia.
Japan was starting to colonize around itself (it takes Korea, parts of China, ect) and It tried to take an island that belonged to Russia. So, Nicholas went to war with Japan, and lost terribly and half of the island was taken over by Japan.
He was named after his grandfather. ... Oh. The "Terrible" part? Well, he was pretty terrible, in the sense of "inspiring terror"; he was the first Russian ruler to claim the title "Tsar of All the Russias", and it's speculated that he was mentally ill.
