war rather than regular people or fixing economy weakened the economy and russia as a whole. The
decision to stay in war made by Nicholas impacted his fate negatively because many people started to
dislike him and his decision... this ultimately led to a revolution where he was kicked out of power.

st. Petersburg to present a petition of grievances to the czar. Troops opened fire on the peaceful
demonstration, killing hundreds.Czar and people broken forever. Nicholas II finally took action by
forming Russia's first parliament, the Duma. Duma aimed to look after the interests of the people but
czar still had power to veto its decisions and dismiss members. Communist leader Leon Trotsky still
believed this was not enough.

experience in ruling but believed in an absolute monarchy. She trusted Rasputin because of how he
possessed some inexplicable power over the Alexei and his deadly episodes of bleeding. He convinced
her that he was sent from God. Rasputin mad many critical government decisions. Rasputin was a
