PRODUCT INFORMATION:
 
Autocratic Rule: As the absolute ruler of Russia, Nicholas II wielded vast powers over his subjects. His autocratic rule was characterized by a strong belief in the divine right of kings and a commitment to maintaining the traditional hierarchy of Russian society.
Political Instability: Nicholas II's reign was marred by political unrest, social upheaval, and economic hardship. Discontent among the Russian people, exacerbated by events such as the Bloody Sunday massacre and the Russo-Japanese War, eventually erupted into the revolutions of 1917, ending the Romanov dynasty.
World War I: The outbreak of World War I further strained Nicholas II's rule. Russia's entry into the war brought economic hardship, military defeats, and widespread suffering to the Russian people. The tsar's decision to take personal command of the Russian army proved disastrous and further eroded confidence in his leadership.
