Nicholas II was the last tsar of Russia under Romanov rule. His poor handling of the war with Japan, Bloody Sunday and Russia’s role in World War I led to his abdication and execution. This gallery centers around Nicholas and his family: his wife Alexandra and their 5 children: in order of birth, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Alexei. (The photos are not always in chronological order. I've changed the order when I thought it would tell the story better.)
