To what extent can Nicholas II be blamed for 1917 revolution?
Throughout his reign, Nicholas II made many poor decisions which discredited his regime and provoked fury against his governance. In terms of internal problems, he was unable to deal with the growing concerns over poverty and the poor living conditions of the lower classes, partially due to his ignorance and his unwavering belief that the people had unconditional adoration for their tsar. The growing problem of food shortages culminated in spontaneous revolts in 1917. His dogmatic belief in his divine right to rule led to a policy of systematic repression of dissidents, liberals and minorities, which further infuriated the populace. The tsar also dealt his foreign relations inadequately, and the losses during the Russo-Japanese War and WWI were blamed on his misguided leadership. He disregarded his ministers' advice, which alienated the aristocracy and led to poor decision making. His choice to go to the front during WWI to lead the army and grant temporary power to his wife and Rasputin was a horrible decision that completely discredited him in the eyes of the upper class. By the end of his reign, he had provoked fury among the aristocracy, the bourgeoisie and the lower classes.

Mcdonanld and Tim hortons
The March revolution of 1917 (also known as the February Revolution and the spring Revolution) occur in Russia during WW1. It all stared when 90 000 textile workers went on strike in Russia protesting about the shortage of fuel and bread. Many people joined and by the end of the week 400 000 people had joined the cause. Signs that said "Down with the Tsar" and "Down with the war" were displayed. The Tsar (or czar spelt both ways) had banned protesting so he sent out the military to shoot the protesters. Instead the army shot their officers and joined the cause. Since the Czar had lost his army he offerer his position to his brother who refused and since his brother wouldn't take position the Czar abdicated. Several members of the Duma were chosen to set up a provisional government (temporary). They stayed in power until the the Fall Revolution. As for the Czar and his family they were sent to house arrest, then excelled, and finally they were executed. Rumor has it that one of the Czar's children, Anastasia, escaped the death. *Note- Many people also believe that the revolution occurred because people doubted the Czar because he was friends with Rasputin, aka the Mad Monk. Rasputin was a drunk who slept around with many women. The Czar and his family only put up with Rasputin because they believed that he could heal the Czar's only son Alexi, who was a hemophiliac. The public never knew about Alexi's decease because it would be seen as a weakness and perhaps people would have killed him so that the dynasty would end.

Did Czar Nicholas II ask for asylum in Great Britain in 1917?
he was the first cousin and spitting image of Britain's King George V so when the British parliament granted the czar and his family asylum the King had it reversed. Obviously he did not want a former royal looking like him hanging around his country as a reminder to people that royalty are not God's chosen and could in one motion end up as normal people with no kingdom. As the changing of his family name from the German House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha illustrated the royal family in Britain are forever very carefully managing their image to prevent losing their place despite saying that they are there with the full support of the people.

In US government they give advice to the president. They have been around since Reagan. They have been criticized by the right wing media because of their name but they fail to mention they were originally appointed by Reagan.

Why was Czar Nicholas II a poor leader?
Nicholas' father was disappointed with his heir, and did not prepare him for Tsardom. Nicholas had no idea how to run the country, and worse, he did not like change. Likewise, his wife, Alexandra, was raised by her grandmother, Queen Victoria, who was also very old fashioned. When his people cried for improvement, he dug in his heels, fearful of losing his power and disappointing his deceased father even more. He was deaf to the pleas from his people, and only made minor changes when he felt he had no other choice, but did so with a grimace plastered to his face. During the Great War (WWI) he left to fight on the battle front leaving his incompetent wife in charge of the largest nation on the earth. Nicholas also had poor military skills, and after a humiliating defeat by the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese war, the whispers of revolt began to spread.

The two main parties were the Socialist Revolutionaries (SRs), a non-Marxist political party, and the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP), a Marxist political party. The RSDLP was itself split into two factions, the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks.
The names came about during the RSDLP Congress in Brussels in 1903. Lenin and his followers were the more radical members of the RSDLP, however they were in the minority. The more conservative majority members were angered at Lenin and some walked out in a protest. This walk-out gave Lenin a temporary majority and he quickly dubbed his followers Bolsheviks, meaning 'majorityites' even though they were actually the minority. The other RSDP members allowed themselves to be called Mensheviks, meaning minorityites even though they were in the majority.
Nihilists and Populists(Narodniks)What Russian czar was forced to give up his throne during the Russian Revolution?

Why was Tsar Nicholas II afraid of the Duma at first?
The Tsar was afraid because a democratically elected Duma meant sharing governmental power with representatives of the general population. The Tsars were autocratic monarchs and allowed no interference with or participation in governing the country. The very last thing any such ruler wants is to permit the general population to have a say in how the country should be governed. Some Tsars, especially Nicholas II, felt that they were divinely ordained to rule and that sharing political power would practically be a sin against the Russian Orthodox Church.
Did Tsar Nicholas II's death lead to World War 1?
The death of Czar Nicholas II was not the cause of any war. World War I broke because he had allied himself with Serbia and sent troops against the Central Powers. His death did not cause the Russian Civil War either since he was murdered during it. With that said, a good number of counter revolutionaries favored the Romanov's return to power. Lenin, by his cruel execution of the Czar and his family ended that idea.
Who was supposed to have power to cure the sickness of Tsar Nicholas' son Alexi?
On July 30, 1904, a little boy was born to Nicholas and Alexandra called Alexis in memory of the second Romanov tsar, but within months of Alexis' birth the child began to bleed and it could not be stopped. He was the victim of Hemophilia which was inherited from his great-grandmother Queen Victoria. Alexandra tried miracle workers, praying without success and she feared her son (the only male Heir) would die. Fortunately the bleeding would stop for a period of time, but start up again without any warning. When Alexis was a year old and it was close to this time when Rasputin returned to St. Petersburg after a two-year hiatus. Alexandria summoned her to him to see if he could cure Alexis. Rasputin was capable of putting a stop to the Alexis' bleedings. Many people have tried to explain the nature of Rasputin's power over the child. Some have claimed that Rasputin did indeed have holy powers. Others, believe that Rasputin was able to hypnotize Alexis and therefore cause the bleedings to stop. However Rasputin managed to stop Alexis' suffering, the truth of the matter was that he gained Nicholas and Alexandra's undivided support.
