Russia >>> The First World Was Was A Key Factor In The Downfall Of The Tsar ESSAY by reuder Without Russia’s previous history World War One would not have created such discontent and wouldn’t have led to a revolution during February 1917. World War One highlighted the weakness in the autocratic system and was a contributing factor to the February uprising and thus the fall of the Romanov rule. The impact of the First World War was a key factor in the downfall of Tsarism as it created enormous pressure on the Tsar. However there were also a number of other factors which too helped to destroy the Tsarist state including the fact that Nicholas II was ill suited to the role which he was poorly prepared to face. However Nicholas II’s ability was not in question because he was next in line and whether he was fit for the challenge was not an issue of concern. One of the weaknesses of a hereditary system such as that of Tsarist Russia is that it does not rely on the ability of the person it instead depends upon the line of inheritance. Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia was ill-suited to the role of Tsar and hence found the responsibilities it brought challenging and difficult to handle.
