Detailed explanation-1: -Reason: Both Louis XVI (the King of France in 1793) and Nicholas II (the Czar of Russia in 1917) were caught in the “terror phase” of the political revolutions that rocked their nations. Both were seen as a threat of return to absolute rule.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the February Revolution, Czar Nicholas II, ruler of Russia since 1894, is forced to abdicate the throne by the Petrograd insurgents, and a provincial government is installed in his place.
Detailed explanation-3: -He was an autocratic but indecisive ruler and was devoted to his wife, Alexandra, who strongly influenced his rule. His interest in Asia led to construction of the Trans-Siberian Railroad and also helped cause the disastrous Russo-Japanese War (1904–05).
Detailed explanation-4: -In Yekaterinburg, Russia, Czar Nicholas II and his family are executed by the Bolsheviks, bringing an end to the three-century-old Romanov dynasty. Crowned in 1896, Nicholas was neither trained nor inclined to rule, which did not help the autocracy he sought to preserve among a people desperate for change.
Detailed explanation-5: -King Louis XVI of the Bourbon dynasty inherited the French royal power towards the end of the 18th century.
