Question

Who was a Nicholas2? Give reason of his failure

Answer 1

Nicholas II was the last Tsar of Russia, and perhaps the most incompetent of them. Most of this incompetance stemmed from his failiure to adapt to the rapidly changing and hostile conditions in Russia. Like his father he was tutored by Konstantin pobedonostev (a firm believer in autocracy), whose teachings developed in Nicholas a strong autocratic mentality, one of the reasons for his downfall. Although Nicholas did come up with a few limited reforms, they were mostly superficial in nature. Therefore it is safe to say that Nicholas ll had greater number of failures than successes during his reign.
