Romanovs – Decline and Fall of the DynastyEssay Preview: Romanovs – Decline and Fall of the DynastyReport this essayTsar Nicholas II to a certain extent could be held responsible for the Russian Revolution. The Tsars conservative nature restricted him in his ability to reform and being able to prevent most of the tragic events that lead to the collapse of the dynasty. However there were various external factors that contributed to the Russian revolution that were out of the Tsars control.
Tsar Nicholass conservative and reactionary attitude restricted his ability to reform and therefore contributed greatly to the Russian revolution. Nicholas education and influence from his tutor had lead him to believe in the divine right of kings, that God had appointed him to rule Russia and that it was his sacred duty to maintain the absolute power of the Tsar. It was these beliefs that caused him to resist reform or any form of democracy. Initially the Nicholas was reluctant to become the Tsar and he confided in his brother of his doubts to handle such responsibility. And it was this attitude that caused him to prefer the comfort of his family life over the ruling of Russia, which lead to his eventual isolation from all classes of Russia, causing him to be out of touch with important issues. Nicholas lacked all personality traits that were vital for an autocratic ruling of a large country. He was weak, indecisive and easily influenced by others and didnt contain the commanding presence of his late father. The Tsars intimate and passionate relationship with the Tsarina Alexandra combined with his timid and loving nature resulted in the Tsarina having ultimate power over the Tsars decisions. Alexandra was extremely conservative and religious, and distrusted outsiders and it was this narrow minded attitude that influenced the Tsar. However it is reasonable to conclude that if the Tsar was less conservative and easily influenced, then reform to a certain extent could have been achieved. Therefore it is possible that the Russian revolution could have been avoided.
Whats more the rapid industrialisation of Russia resulted in poor living conditions and the Tsars reluctance to acknowledge these discontents lead to revolutionaries being formed. The growth of industrialisation in the 1890s resulted in peasants leaving the countryside in the hope of better work and lives in the cities. However what awaited in the cities were unhygienic and overcrowded factory slums, poor working conditions and pay. Trade unions were made illegal by the Tsar so the working class had no representative to fight for improving pay or working standards. These conditions filled the working class with discontent. Consequently a willing audience formed for various revolutionary parties e.g. the Social Democrats and the Social Revolutionaries. Resulting in increasing amounts of strikes, political opposition and demonstrations; however the Tsar refused to consider their demand for representative government. Therefore the Tsars continued stubbornness in meeting the pleas of the Russian people, caused further discontent among the working class, resulting in their exposure to revolutionary influence. If the Tsar had acknowledged their needs, then perhaps the revolutionary parties would have had no audience, there would be no discontent and the revolution would have been prevented.
Similarly the Russo Japanese War had a devastating effect on the reputation of Russia, which indirectly diminished the peoples faith in the Tsar. In 1904 the Tsar declared war on Japan, over the control of parts of Korea. The aim was to bring the people of Russia together through patriotism by having a short victorious war to stem the revolutionary tide. However this plan backfired as the Russian navy lost at the Battle of Mukden 1905. This was the first loss of a European power against an Asian country and thus humiliating Russia and its people. This loss highlighted the inefficiencies of the regime as well as its military weakness, further discontenting the Russian people and increasing their demands for reform. If the Tsar however was prepared before declaring war, his initial plan would have been a success and the Russian peoples aggravation would have dissolved. Thus the Russian revolution would have been prevented.
The Russo-Japanese War on the Korean Peninsula
During the mid-twentieth century the Russo-Japanese War on the Korean Peninsula, as you know is called, began in the summer of 1902.
The Russo-Japanese War began as a response to a similar colonial uprising on the eastern side of Korea in the late nineteenth century. The Chinese had been expelled from China by the Japanese during World War I and was the last force left of the Korean Peninsula. The rebellion began after a famine brought on by the Japanese was caused by Japanese military aggression against Japan. Japan, unlike the Western powers at the time, was not able to absorb its foreign workers and foreign products back into Europe. The Japanese economy was essentially “foreignized”. The people of Japan, although not being able to make any money in the market, enjoyed a comfortable existence. At the same time the Chinese government attempted to take down Korea’s political leadership.
The French military were able to invade the territory of Korea and the British colonial powers, which were not happy about the Chinese occupation, took a large share of the land and tried to seize the land by force. The Russians attempted to seize the land, too.
The war brought to an end many of the main problems of the Crimean Tatars. Many of their demands and grievances that had plagued the Crimean Tatars for years were finally achieved during the first month of 1905.
However, many of the issues that had plagued the Crimean Tatars in the Crimean period remain.
Many questions have been asked regarding war and politics in the country. One of the problems of the Crimean Tatars is that the people of Russia have been killed almost without exception during those wars.
However, most of the Crimean Tatars and their followers are still living peacefully in their homeland in their native country.
In early 1900 there were many Crimean Tatars who took to fighting and fighting. However there were some who were not convinced by the government’s views of socialism. They sought to form a national party and unite with their Russian-speaking neighbors. After the events that took place at the Crimean peninsula some Crimean Tatars fled to China. In the 1920s the Russian government began to realize that the world was falling apart and the Crimean Tatars wanted to form a new party and was given a platform to represent them. They decided to build a new party founded in the Crimea and set up a political party and to form a national group. However they soon started to form a separate organization to run their country. However, they were pushed around by the government before they could become a national party. During the early 1900s many of those who were interested in forming a national party did not think strongly enough about this step. In the 1930s they formed a group called People’s Party to organize and organize the Crimean Tatars into the People’s Party. The first party organization was set up in 1940 when some of those who didn’t want to form a party were gathered to begin setting up a party in the capital. In 1940 a section called People’s Party established in the same building was organized and established as an organization.
Over 90% of those Crimean Tatars who are still living in the original country of Ukraine are not even in the original republic. In 1950 the Ukrainian parliament elected a new president with the support of their Crimean Tatars.
In 1946 the Crimean Tatars came onto the political scene and they started forming a new party called People’s Party and went on to form the first Ukrainian party.
In 1961 the Crimean Tatars again became a major force in the Ukrainian political scene. The Ukrainian National Youth Movement in 1961 won many elections and led to the country becoming an independent republic based on Ukrainian and Russian laws

The Tsars failure to respond to the 1905 revolution with peace directly resulted in increased discontent
