The Role Of Tzar In The Decline Of The Romanov Dynasty

This essay examines the role of tzar within the fall of the Romanov dynasty. Tsar Nicholas II roles had contributed in the decline and fall of the Romanov Dynasty. He wasn’t the main reason for the decline of the romanov dynasty, but he was a part of it.

Politically czar tzar was poorly ready for the position, once he was placed in power he was an indecisive potentate being simply influenced by others and forever creating poor selections. Czar tzar was ill-prepared to receive the crown once his father died in 1894. His inability to rule effectively was combined by variety of inauspicious events throughout his reign. In Feb 1904, Japan launched a coup de main on the Russian Pacific squadron at Port Arthur. This event marked the beginning

of war between Russia and Japan that all over successive year with a mortifying defeat for czar tzar forces. His roles had certainly contributed and had been part of the reason for the decline. The collapse occurred as a result of a few factors which include, predominantly comprising of social, political and economic grievances in the late 19th and 20th century in Russia.

Tsar nicholas the second was inexperienced in political factors and used inconsistent ruling over the russian country.

One of the reasons is that he was totally unfit to rule as an autocrat over Russia. When a conflict would occur, instead of fixing the situation he prays to the lord and puts it in gods hand. Which is telling us straight away how unfit he was to rule, he can pray to god and hope for the best but he has to also fix the situation and do something about it as a ruler. Nicholas gave the impression of being unable to cope with the tasks of ruling a vast Empire in the grips of a deepening revolutionary crisis. Tsar nicholas ii had involved russia into the first world war, this caused millions of Russian casualties which had angered the Russian people and so Russia erupted into a civil

war.

Another factor, is that he was never trained as an autocrat which impacted big time. He lacked the characterisitcs of a leder and ruler. He had no characteristics what so ever like a ruler does. He had shown a clear disinterest to rule over Russia. He lacked motivation as an autocrat. He had quoted that ‘I am not prepared to be a Tsar. I never wanted to become one. I know nothing of the business of ruling’. Which indicates that he had never wanted to rule and that he knows nothing about the business of ruling which was a huge part of why he was part of the reason to the fall of the romanov dynasty.

Another reason to how Tsar nicholas ii had contributed to the decline of the romanov dynasty, is due to his hold onto tradition and wanting to keep their culture rather than changing completely to western ideals.

If he made some changes it would certainly helped their politics, economy, and society but instead tsar nicholas ii felt there was no need to change.

He had no desire at all to lead, he knew about discontent among Russians but did nothing about it, too distracted by son’s illness, and he was too stubborn to changes which also led to the fall and he knew nothing about the business of ruling.

During his reign, russian social democratic labor party was formed then they later became the bolsheviks. After bloody Sunday, Tsar nicholas ii signed the october manifesto which allowed the Duma to be installed, the problem with the duma was that the sarc veto he had to give any bill he saw was fit . All hell broke loose when world war 1 broke out, the tsar had signed an agreement to help serbia russia was dragged into the war at first the people were on the side of the tsar then eventually public morale was stopped russia's supplies were dwindling, around this time tsar had decided to be his army in the

war.
When rasputin died, the people of russia realised rasputin wasn’t the problem, but the tsar was. After this the february revolution occurred causing the tsar to abdicate and establish a russian democratic government. But people were still mad because russia was still fighting in the war. So eight months later, the october revolution occurred causing the democratic government to disband and establishing the soviet union. After this in 1918, the russian civil war broke out. The romanovs were moved to many small towns Russia but finally in July 17th 1918 the ekaterinburg russia, 18 members of the romanov family and friends were brought down to the cellar and were executed by the Bolsheviks, bringing an end to the three-century-old Romanov dynasty. The empire collapsed during the February Revolution of 1917, largely as a result of massive failures in its participation in the First World War.
Numerous individuals who once bolstered the absolutism administering were unsuccessful to give their help to their Tsar. The special and first class trusted that Nicholas must repudiate his tyranny to spare Russia from decimation and insurgency. The court and in addition the armed force likewise pulled back their help. In that capacity, Nicholas II, the last existing Tsar of Russia, surrendered the royal position for himself and his beneficiary and put a conclusion to the three-hundred convention of the Romanov Dynasty.

In conclusion, this essay highlights what roles he contributed to the the fall of the romanov dynasty. It examines what he did that went wrong and led to the decline.
