Why did Tsar Nicholas abdicate his throne?

Answer 1

because Russia believed he lacked the qualities of a leader, and many of the people were poor and hungry and blamed him. the turmoil of the country was on Nicholas's shoulders.

World War 1 was a key reason why the Tsar was forced to abdicate in 1917, however there were many other factors that contributed some longer term than others. Firstly, World War 1 was a short term cause that gained unpopularity quickly. Longer term causes such as autocracy, size of Russia and opposing groups had a greater impact. Without these factors which reduced the Tsars popularity, World War 1 wouldn't have forced to Tsar to abdicate alone.

Russia had many difficulties that had not been solved by the beginning of the 20th Century which could not be solved by the power of an autocracy. Russia had an unfair class system where the conditions of the workers and peasants were unfair because of living conditions and insufficient payment. Peasants made up a majority of the army which contributed to WW1 being a reason for the abdication. This is because lack of success throughout the war increased unpopularity towards the Tsar.

Tsar Nicholas was a weak ruler of a vast country. The Tsar could not rule an extremely large country by autocracy. This resulted in him soon losing authority so he enforced a secret police to help control the country. Their methods were brutal; they killed loads of people and took people from families. This made Tsar Nicholas unpopular and turned more of the country against him.

Czar Nicholas II was overthrown because of 'Bloody Sunday.' A peaceful strike was held by workers who had low pay and bad job conditions. The Czar ordered his men to shoot at all the strikers. Therefore, that day was called Bloody Sunday. After that, people had a reason to overthrow the Czar.

"Bloody Sunday" occurred in 1905, but Tsar Nicholas II was not overthrown until March 1917. According to the Russian calendar it was in February. He was overthrown because he failed to govern the country effectively. The people of Russia wanted him to end World War 1 against Germany because his army was suffering huge casualties and was not capable of defeating Germany militarily; however he kept Russia in the war.

The peasants wanted him to initiate land reform; however he maintained the inequitable system of ownership of land by the upper class.

The people in the cities wanted him to end the shortages of food and manufactured goods; however he was incapable of doing so.

For these and several other reasons, he was unable to garner support from the army to put down angry demonstrations in Petrograd and other large Russian cities, eventually realizing he had lost any power he had as Tsar. As a result, he abdicated his throne.
