'''Nicholas II of Russia''' (Russian: Николай II Алекса́ндрович, tr. Nikolay II Aleksandrovich; May 18<sup>th</sup>, 1868 – July 17<sup>th</sup>, 1918) known as '''Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer''' in the Russian Orthodox Church, was the last Emperor of Russia, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his forced abdication on 15 March 1917. His reign saw the fall of the Russian Empire from one of the foremost great powers of the world to economic and military collapse. He was given the nickname '''Nicholas the Bloody''' or '''Vile Nicholas''' by his political adversaries due to the Khodynka Tragedy, [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]] [[pogrom]]s, Bloody Sunday, the violent suppression of the 1905 Russian Revolution, the execution of political opponents, and his perceived responsibility for the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). Soviet historians portrayed Nicholas as a weak and incompetent leader whose decisions led to military defeats and the deaths of millions of his subjects. | '''Nicholas II of Russia''' (Russian: Николай II Алекса́ндрович, tr.

When all diplomatic efforts to prevent [[World War I]] failed, Nicholas approved the mobilization of the Russian Army on 30 July 1914, which gave Germany formal grounds to declare war on Russia on 1 August 1914. An estimated 3.3 million Russians were killed in World War I. The Imperial Army's severe losses, the High Command's incompetent management of the war effort, and lack of food and supplies on the home front were all leading causes of the fall of the House of Romanov. | When all diplomatic efforts to prevent [[World War I]] failed, Nicholas approved the mobilization of the Russian Army on 30 July 1914, which gave Germany formal grounds to declare war on Russia on 1 August 1914.

On 30 April 1918, Nicholas, Alexandra, and their daughter Maria were handed over to the local Ural Soviet council in Ekaterinburg; the rest of the captives followed on 23 May. Nicholas and his family were executed by their Bolshevik guards on the night of 16/17 July 1918. The remains of the imperial family were later found, exhumed, identified and re-interred with an elaborate state and church ceremony in St. Petersburg on 17 July 1998. The death of Nicholas and his family marked the collapse of the Russian Empire and the formation of the Soviet Union, under the leadership of [[Vladimir Lenin]]. | On 30 April 1918, Nicholas, Alexandra, and their daughter Maria were handed over to the local Ural Soviet council in Ekaterinburg; the rest of the captives followed on 23 May.

Nicholas II is known for his role in the Don Bluth movie ''Anastasia''. He has brown hair, brown eyes (blue in real life) and thick eyebrows. He had a short beard with a mustache.
