The document summarizes the events that led to the downfall of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and the Romanov dynasty. It explains that Nicholas was a weak ruler who was heavily influenced by his wife Alexandra and her cousin Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. Wilhelm's advice to engage in war with Japan resulted in a devastating defeat for Russia. During World War I, Russia did poorly and Nicholas left governance to his wife Alexandra, who made poor decisions with her advisor Rasputin. This caused widespread famine and unrest, leading to the Russian Revolution in 1917 and the overthrow of Nicholas's rule. While the deaths of Nicholas and Alexandra may have been justified due to their failures, the deaths of their children were unjustified

Militarism Alliances Imperialism Nationalism
Class, the powder keg that ignited Europe was the assassination of the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand. Nationalist Serbs- the Black Hand assassinated him. They believed in Pan Slavism.
What is Pan Slavism? Why did Russia enter WWI? Who fought on which sides during WWI?
Solution
Pan-Slavism, a development which solidified in the mid-nineteenth century, is the political
philosophy worried about the headway of respectability and solidarity for the Slavic-talking
people groups. Its fundamental effect happened in the Balkans, where non-Slavic domains had
ruled the South Slavs for a considerable length of time. These were chiefly the Byzantine
Empire, Austria-Hungary (both as discrete entities for the vast majority of the period), the
Ottoman Empire, and Venice.
The Pan-Slavism development soon went up against political hints, and in June 1848, while the
Austrian Empire was debilitated by transformation, the Czech history specialist František
Palacký assembled a Slav congress in Prague. Comprising of agents of every Slav nationality
controlled by the Austrians, the congress was proposed to compose agreeable endeavors among
them to compel the Emperor to change his government into an alliance of equivalent people
groups under a vote based Habsburg run the show.
In spite of the fact that the congress had minimal commonsense impact, the development stayed
dynamic, and by the 1860s it turned out to be especially mainstream in Russia, to which
numerous Pan-Slavs searched for authority and also for insurance from Austro-Hungarian and
Turkish run the show. Russian Pan-Slavists, be that as it may, changed the hypothetical bases of
the development. Embracing the Slavophile thought that western Europe was profoundly and
socially bankrupt and that it was Russia\'s noteworthy mission to revive Europe by increasing
political strength over it, the Pan-Slavists included the idea that Russia\'s central goal couldn\'t be
satisfied without the help of other Slav people groups, who must be freed from their Austrian and
Turkish experts and joined into a Russian-ruled Slav confederation.In spite of the fact that the
Russian government did not authoritatively bolster this view, some essential individuals from its
remote division, including its agents at Constantinople and Belgrade, were fervent Pan-Slavists
and prevailing with regards to drawing both Serbia and Russia into wars against the Ottoman
Empire in 1876– 77. At the point when endeavors were made in the mid twentieth century to call
new Pan-Slav congresses and resuscitate the development, the nationalistic contentions among
the different Slav people groups kept their successful cooperation.
Russia entered WW1 due to following reasons:
Russia was drawn into WW1 by similar stumbles and habits that tormented her neighboring
European nations, radical rivalry, harmful patriotism, military haughtiness, and insufficient trust
in tact and dependence on collusions. While Russia enter.
2. ONCE A UPON A TIME...
There was once a family
Nicholas
Alexandra
Olga
Tatiana
Marie
Alexis
Anastasia
3. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD
THIS STORY
A fictionalized theory that
the daughter of the Tsar
did not perish with her
family but lived on and was
reunited with her
grandmother.
4. BUT REALLY THIS IS
WHAT HAPPENED
Tsar Nicholas II was a weak and easily influenced man. He
was influenced greatly by his wife, Alexandra and his wife’s
cousin William II, Kaiser of Germany. It was actually the
advice given by William about engaging in war with Japan
that forced Nicholas to make a bad decision which resulted
in the Russian Revolution.
5. THE KAISER’S ADVICE
William II, was for one, a crazy person. He was badly behaved in all manners of
court and also enjoyed being the Kaiser a little too much. Because he a more
experienced ruler then Nicholas he was at his cousin’s elbow at every chance he
could.
In 1895 Nicholas started his campaign of controlling more of Asia, egged on by
William, Nicholas captured a new port for his navy and also captured some parts of
Asia that belonged to the Japanese.
At first Japan was not to concerned with Russia, but when Russia decided to take
part of Korea as their own Japan went to war with Russia. Nicholas had played with
the idea of war but never thought it could ever happen. THroughout the war the
situation became worse and worse until Japan decisively won and completely
destroyed the Russian army, navy, and reputation. Millions of lives were lost.
6. FROM THERE...
Inn 1914, Russia engaged in war against Austro-Hungary,
because A-H had issued war against Serbia, which Russia
was sworn to protect. The Kaiser of Germany was very
upset at the juncture because he had an alliance with Austria
and wanted to be on the same side as Nichols.
Eventually, after a long series of back and forths between
Nicholas and the Kaiser, Germany went to war against
Russia, much to Nicholas’s horror.
This was the beginning of WWI
7. RUSSIA IN WWI
Russia was alined with France during WWI and was its
closet ally. The only advantage Russia had during the war the
amount of people in the military, in all other aspects it was
weak.
in 1915 after a huge defeat, the Tsar himself decided to take
control of the military, at home Alexandra ruled Russia with
Rasputin at her should.
This would be Russia’s downfall.
8. THE REVOLUTION
The Revolution started because of bad deciions made by Nicholas during the war
with Japan and his absence in ruling during WWI.
Alexandra, influenced by Rasputin also made terrible decisions so that in 1917 the
people revolted.
The main influences were the millions of soldiers killed in the wars and a famine
throughout Russia.
Groups of radicals used the revolution to their advantage to convince the public
that the ruling family needed to leave in order for the country to work again.
9. MORALS
Overall, it seems that with all of the destruction Nicholas
and Alexandra caused in Russia, their deaths do not seem as
undeserving.
A similar situation happened in France during their
revolution but the deaths of the king and queen seem more
justified in histories eyes.
It is most likely that the death of the Romanov children is
why usually the Romanov’s deaths are seen as unwarranted.
10. THE END
This story was meant to portray the events leading up to the
Russian Revolution and displacing the misconception that
the deaths of the Romanov’s were not unjustified and
reiterating that their actions brought the downfall of the
Romanov dynasty and Russia.
This however does not serve the justify the death of the Romanov children, that is wholly unjustifiable
