Nicholas II of Russia (May 18, 1868 – July 17, 1918) was the last crowned Emperor of Russia, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland. He ruled from 1894 until his forced abdication in 1917. It is said that Nicholas proved unequal to the combined tasks of managing a country in political turmoil and commanding its army in the largest international war to date. His rule ended with the Russian Revolution of 1917, after which he and his family were murdered by Bolsheviks.
