The position of czar was abolished at the end of which war?
1 Answer
The position of czar was abolished at the end of World War I (1914 - 1918).
Explanation:
The last czar of Russia was Nicholas II, who reigned from 1894 - 1917. The Russian people had become increasingly dissatisfied with the monarchy, due in part to Nicholas' autocratic governing style and the failures, mismanagement, and sufferings of the Russian army during the First World War.
In 1917, when the price of food had skyrocketed and the number of supplies had plummeted, tensions came to a head. Ordinary people revolted, regiments mutinied, and following this "February Revolution", Nicholas II was forced to abdicate. He and his family were taken prisoner and later executed. The monarchy was abolished and a new government (without any czars) was established, making Nicholas II the last czar of Russia, with his reign ending at roughly the end of World War I.
