Commentary

Nicolas II (18/051868-16/07/1918), le fils aîné d'Alexandre III et de Marie, succède à son père en 1894. Marié à Alix de Hesse dont il a cinq enfants, quatre filles et un garçon, il est un autocrate résigné. Dominé par Raspoutine jusqu'à l'assassinat de celui-ci en 1916, il s'est laissé entraîner dans la guerre russo-japonaise qui lui enlève la Mandchourie. La révolution de 1905 a fait vaciller son trône et la création d'une Douma démocratiquement élue ne peut pas empêcher la constitution de groupuscules bolcheviques, déterminés à prendre le pouvoir par la force. Il se laisse entraîner dans la guerre de 1914 par le jeu des alliances et son trône n'y résiste pas. Il est renversé en 1917 par la révolution de février et assassiné l'année suivante avec toute sa famille.
Nicolas II (18/051868-16/07/1918), the eldest son of Alexander III and Marie, succeeded his father in 1894. Married to Alix de Hesse with whom he had five children, four girls and a boy, he is a resigned autocrat. Dominated by Rasputin until his assassination in 1916, he allowed himself to be drawn into the Russo-Japanese war which took Manchuria from him. The 1905 revolution rocked his throne and the creation of a democratically elected Duma could not prevent the formation of Bolshevik small groups, determined to seize power by force. He let himself be drawn into the war of 1914 by the game of alliances and his throne did not resist it. He was overthrown in 1917 by the February Revolution and assassinated the following year with all his family.
