Tsar+Nicholas+II

 **__Tsar Nicholas II __**  Nicholas was the Tsar of Russia, he was born 1868 in Krasnoye Selo. After his father’s death from liver disease he became heir to the throne in 1895. That same year he married a German Princess, Alexandra of Hesse- Darmstadt.  In 1904 the Japanese launched a surprise attack on the Russian Fleet. The Russian army was able to hold back the Japanese but the war became a problem with the people, making the Tsar unpopular with the people. Also poor working conditions for Russia made the working class very unpopular. Eventually they revolted and marched to the Tsar’s palace, 100 were killed with 300 injured. This was known as bloody Sunday. Strikes continued throughout the Tsar’s reign all through 1914 where almost half of Russia’s working class joined the strikes. Eventually the Tsar was assassinated.
