The Russian Revolution Didnt Fail. If Anything It Sucseeded. The Tsar St Nicholas II Got Scared When He Found Out That He Promised Change.

1. He took control of the army, and therefore causing the defeats to be blamed on him.
2. He put too much trust in Rasputin and his wife Alexei, who the people thought were German spies.

Tsar Nicholas II sets up the duma and allows fredom of speech, press(newspapers), assembly and worship as well as freedom from arrest. A first only rich Russians could elect the duma but then the middle class was also given general suffrage. Russia therefore became a constitutional monarchy. This didn't last long however because Nicholas grew bored of the duma and issued the fundemental laws giving him outright control over the duma and so no real reform came from the duma. (this is only a brief overview of the results- but it is considered to be a 'dress reheasal' for the 1917 revolution that depoesed the Tsar.

cosmeticNot really, the political changes of implementing representative government were only . He was still an absolute monarch, he had to put down revolts prior to the bolschevic revolution. But even more than Nicholas, the people of Russia hated Rasputin.

The Russian people did like Nicholas the second. However they didn't like his German born wife Alexandra.

He was taken into custody by forces of the Provisional Government, with the intent that he would be exiled to Great Britain. Later, after the October Revolution, forces of the Bolshevik Party seized him and moved him and his family to the Ipatiev House at Ekaterinburg. In July 1918, he and everyone in the Royal Family were murdered in the Russian Civil War, to stop them returning to power.

He was succeeded by his son Alexander III, who was an ultra-conservative. The first thing he did was tear up his father's plans to institute a Parliament. Most of the assassins were apprehended and executed.

Last czar was Romanov, first czar was Ryurikovich

After the Pugachev Rebellion, Catherine the Great never fully recovered from the fears of social and political upheaval that it raised. Once the French Revolution broke out in 1789, the Russian Empress censored books based on Enlightenment thought and sent offensive authors into Siberian exile.

The Romanov dynasty, ruled Russia from 1613 to 1917. The first Romanov tsar was Michael Romanov. Michael inherited the crown after the "time of troubles" by an assembly of officials representing every city and town in all of Russia. History would make famous the last Tsar; Nicholas II. Nicholas along with his wife and children were murdered by the Bolsheviks on July 17 1918 in Ekaterinburg located in the Russian Ural region. The Last Tsar was actually not Nicholas the II, but his brother Michael. Michael refused the crown after Nicholas II abdicated as sovereign and also on behalf of his son, Alexis. The three hundred year old house of Romanov began with a Michael and so it ended with a Michael.

Lenin and Trotsky were the two leaders of the Bolshevik political party which took power after the Russia Revolution of 1917. Tsar Nicholas II was overthrown during the Russia Revolution of 1917, also known as the Bolshevik revolution.

It was one of the most powerful nations, but lacked economy and was actually a century behind the other European nations. Russia was about to enter WW I which costed it even more money. To show how behind Russia was at this time, some battalions had to use muskets. Oh..and for some of the other questions that were on here...The capital of the Russian empire was Petrograd, the farthest east russia expanded was actually far west, they took over Alaska and owned it until the U.S. bought it in 1867. And the last scribe family of the Russian Court was the Bartkovicz family. it was pronounced biertkovich i think. and the Russian empire was big enough to put over 3 united states in it.

Alexei was Czar Nicholas' youngest child and only son. Unfortunately for the succession of the throne, Alexei was a hemophilliac, meaning his blood barely clotted. A paper cut that's just annoying for the average person could have put Alexei in a hospital ICU. His illness is what brought Grigorii Rasputin, who claimed he was a healer, into the royal court. Alexei was assasinated along with his family in the 1920s after the civil war.

Russian Revolution can refer to the following events in the history of Russia:

The Russian Revolution of 1905, which was a series of riots and anti-government violence against Tsar Nicholas II.

The Russian Revolution of 1917, which included the February Revolution resulting in the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia and the October Revolution, which was the Bolshevik revolt.

The Third Russian Revolution, which was the failed anarchist revolution against the Bolsheviks that started in 1918. It was suppressed along with the White Movement by 1922.

When the year is not indicated in the reference, the term "Russian Revolution", if used as a time mark, usually refers to the October Revolution of 1917, whereas references to the revolution of 1905 always mention the year and references to the February Revolution always mention the month.

He introduced the October Manifesto. (In 1905). He had to make concessions. He appeased the Liberals by creating the legislative duma (Parliment), granting freedom of speech, granting the right for political parties to exist and legalised trade unions.

The peasants were also appeased by having their mortgage repayments first reduced, and then altogether abolished.

However, Nicholas did not appease the industrial workers. He felt strong enough to resist and crush the soviets having won over the Liberals and peasants. Headquarters of the St.Petersburg soviet were stormed and the ringleaders (such as Trotsky) were arrested. Nicholas also destroyed the Moscow soviet. The soviet buildings were burnt down by government troops.

When Russia had the March Revolution it started because Russia lacked the necessary items for war against Imperial Germany. When Russia was knocked out of the war by another Austro-German assault, Russian soldiers came back and killed their officers because when they lost the war their like for their officers and the czar of Russia were disappearing

The last Tsar of Imperial Russia was Nicholas II of Russia, formerly known as Nikolay Alexandrovich Romanov. On March 22 1917, he was put under house arrest and later he and his family were executed under the Bolsheviks. It was presumed a true socialist revolution would be impossible if there was any legitimate claim to the throne.

The first "official" Tsar of all Russia, Ivan IV, the last six years was seriously ill. It is assumed that the disease was the reason for his death. There is, however, the hypothesis of its etching. This is supported by the presence of arsenic in his remains mercury. However, they went into the drug and that the belt so get more exact cause of death is not yet possible.

lack of weaponry and poor leadership! The revolution also added to the problems.

They were cousins by birth and marriage.

Alexandra's mother Alice was the sister of George's father Albert Edward.

Alexandra married Tsar Nicholas II whose mother was the sister of Georges mother.

The revolution of 1917 was caused by a gradual weakening of the monarchy by Rasputin, the mystic who was caring for Nicholas II's hemophilic son, as well as growing socioeconomic and political discontent. Nicholas II was a conservative authoritarian ruler, and the people were tired of being oppressed. They were ready for a more democratic government. Also, Russia was in the midst of an economic crisis after World War I, and many of the peasants were living in cramped, poor conditions and being forced to work long hours.

The last ruling family of Russia was the family ROMANOV, of which the last Tsar is Tsar Nikolai II. The Tsar and most of his family were executed after the Decembrist Bolshevik revolution, led at least ideologically by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, though rumours abound that his youngest daughter, Anastasiya, had survived the scourge, and subsequently there have been many imposters claiming to be the last Russian princess.
