Fallen Dynasty In Russia: Find Out Declaration War Of Germany: Romanov Family Escape

This book contains several of the often quoted sources of individuals who witnessed the fall of the Russian Empire 1917-1919.

Tsar Nicholas always considered himself to be unlucky, but he compounded his genuine misfortunes by making catastrophic calculations in defiance of at least three of the best chief ministers any sovereign has ever had. His biggest mistake of all was to mobilize the Russian army on the German border in 1914, thus provoking Germany into a declaration of war. After three years of horrendous losses and deprivation among his people, Nicholas was forced to abdicate in March 2017. His abdication was followed by the house arrest of the immediate Imperial Family, first in Tsarskoe Selo, then in Tobolsk, and finally in Yekaterinburg, where they were executed in July 1917 along with four retainers. Nicholas' brother, Grand Duke Michael, had already been killed four days earlier in Perm, and six more of his family were executed the next day in Alapayevsk. Four more Romanov grand dukes faced a firing squad at the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg at the end of January 1919.
