last Russian tsar of the Romanov dynasty were born in this world, May 6, 1868.It happened in the royal residence in Tsarskoye Selo.Nicholas trained from early childhood to the imperial destiny.In eight years, the young prince began active development of the curriculum of the classical school, doing further courses of botany, anatomy, physiology, mineralogy, zoology and languages.In addition, an important place in the education of Prince occupied military science, strategy, economics, political science, law and so on.Since childhood, the last Russian tsar of the Romanov found the attraction to military service.What, in general, was quite typical for the nobility of the time.Even without being a monarch, he was a regular military service in the Transfiguration Regiment.
Board last emperor
Nicholas II ascended the throne, being 26 years old at the end of 1894.Already the events during the coronation, tarnished the name of the last Russian tsar.It is about the tragedy at the Khodynka when poor organization of celebrations led to mass stampede that killed more than a thousand people and tens of thousands left with disabilities.During this event the last Russian tsar of the Romanov dynasty was called "bloody".Unfortunately, the troubles of the Russian Empire did not end there.Most historians agree that the monarch was not a strong personality, often letting their course public affairs and not daring to take decisive action when the country was just urgent conversion.By the beginning of XX century Russia was more to ensure that the raw material to turn into a colony of the western states, far gone in its technical, social and economic development.This has already happened to the once-powerful Iran and Turkey, which also failed to restructure their society on the path of capitalist development.The last Russian tsar of the Romanov dynasty, and subsequently repeatedly admitted miscalculations, worsening the position of the state: it is mediocre and losing Russian-Japanese War when the original is much higher potential Russian and ridiculous polupopytka crush the Revolution 1905-07 (Bloody Sunday), and the subsequent assumption of chaosin the State of the Black Hundred pogroms.
Positive aspects of board
However, it should be noted that, despite the generally disappointing picture of the positive aspects of this period can be found.To them it is possible to attribute reform minister Pyotr Stolypin.This is especially true of the agrarian sector, where the head of the government tried to create a strong stratum of independent farmers (like American farmers) by selecting them from the secular community, and at the same time by their own master land in Siberia, giving free allotments.Reform really started to give positive results, however, it has not been brought to its logical conclusion, being interrupted first death of a main reformer of the state, and later the European war.
collapse of the empire
The last straw was the failure of public discontent in the First World War that the last Russian tsar of the Romanov dynasty won only formally, and only thanks to the German defeat on the Western Front, where Wilhelm II, was forced to sign the surrender.The war is extremely exhausted the resources of the country and the people, splashing out first in the February Revolution of popular discontent, and later in October.After the first uprising of the royal family was arrested.Stormy months, on the eve of the October revolution, overthrow of the monarchy had, being a high-ranking prisoner, first in Tsarskoye Selo, then in Tyumen, Tobolsk and Yekaterinburg.In the midst of civil war, the Bolsheviks had decided to eliminate all members of the dynasty, thus depriving his opponents trumps as legitimate contenders for the throne.King with his family, was shot on the night of the sixteenth on 17 July 1918.
