Nicholas II, his wife, their children, and four servants were shot to death in 1918 because the murderers wanted to gain the power of leading Russia.
Not quite true. The murderers were already in power and had been holding Nicholas II and his family in captivity for about a year. They wanted to prevent the Romanovs from ever coming back and regaining the throne. Sometimes an overthrown leader might leave his country, mount a coup, then return to rule once again. The Bolsheviks wanted to prevent this from happening.
