Inherited Russia from his father, Alexander III. Nicolas believed in autocracy (government ruled by one person with absolute power) and ruled over the empire with help of his wife Alexandra. He encouraged expansion into Manchuria. Opposition to his reign grew and he was forced to grant a constitution and establish a parliament. During World War I, he took control of the army and every failure was associated with him, which caused people to dislike him more. There were food shortages, widespread inflation, and poverty in Russia due to the war. Nicolas lost the support of the army, and then was imprisoned and later executed with his family. -- Eva
